Emotional Intelligence ... or EQ

[DanaC]

The trouble is though, Jim, just returning to my current bugbear: the boss is more likely to promote the person he likes (:p). But of the people working for him, and putting themselves forward for promotion, and doing all that stuff that people have to do in order to get up the ladder, he is more likely to like and therefore promote a male employee. Because the behaviours one engages in to seek success in a career make women less likeable and men more likeable.

We just see the same things differently when it's a woman or a man doing them. I do too at some level. Most of us do, it's instinctive.

I don't know what the answer is. Like the woman said, our generation will not change this, has not changed it. I do wonder if maybe things are beginning to change for the lasses on their way into these worlds now.
