Invisible
Rules :
Men, Women and Teams (cc)
"Successful organizations of the future are going to have
leaders, are going to have team members who understand the rules
of both cultures." -- Dr. Pat Heim
According to Dr. Pat Heim in this customer-requested
sequel to THE POWER DEAD-EVEN RULE, men and women grow up in different
cultures, learning different lessons about what it means to be
a leader and what it means to be a team player. The hitch is that
the rules of these cultures are typically invisible and these
invisible rules are the cause of many misunderstandings as men
and women work together on teams.
In her thoughtful and lively presentation, Dr. Heim sorts out
some of these INVISIBLE RULES. Among her insights:
-- Men and women have radically different ideas
of what it means to be a team player.
-- Our meeting behaviors are different. For men, the meeting
often doesn't happen in the meeting and women may not know this.
-- Women often use disclaimers, hedges, and tag questions in
their linguistic behavior which can backfire when talking to
men.
-- Our non-verbal communication is different. For example, when
women nod it means "I hear you," while men nod in
agreement.
These differences are not right or wrong but they can result
in confusion and conflict. By making these INVISIBLE RULES
visible, Dr. Heim provides the basis for better understanding,
communication and teamwork.
