The need for improved communication between the sexes in the workplace is very important for the overall health and efficiency of all organizations. In the global economy in which we compete, we need to ensure that inefficiencies are “built in”, and that we do not tolerate difficulties in communicating with the opposite gender. Awareness and training from the online video eWorkshop “Mars and Venus in the Workplace” can eliminate or correct difficulties and misunderstanding and have an immediate positive impact on your organization.
Let’s discuss another tip for each gender that can help you be more effective in your current role or position.
Tip for Women
We’ll begin with one that is very common when women communicate with men. When communicating with men, we teach women to come straight to the point and leave out unnecessary details and background information. Men usually communicate in a very direct way and to women’s ears, a blunt way. Men do not take offense at this and will be very appreciative if a woman simply gets to the point without the added extras.
Don’t make sacrifices to justify a request. Instead, just ask directly for what you want. If he says no, ask again and be willing to negotiate. Men appreciate directness.
Tip for Men
The tip for men is avoid lecturing a woman. Lecturing women is what can be called a boomerang strategy – you throw it out there and then it comes back to hit you on the head. Involving rather than telling women always works best. If you continually tell or lecture at a woman to do things, she will simply form the opinion that you are arrogant, don’t care about anyone else and will be completely de-motivated. Hence, her productivity will be greatly decreased. If you involve her, her ownership of the task increases and so does her motivation and productivity. In the instance of lecturing a woman because she has done something wrong or made a mistake, it is extremely counterproductive. Most women can tell themselves off and beat themselves up far better than anything anybody else could do to them. If a woman is aware that she has made a mistake, she will already be internally telling herself off and accepting the blame or responsibility. Often, in this situation, she needs the man to be supportive, yet stern. Find the balance.
