Joanna L. Krotz: 3 signs of a dysfunctional company.
"The hallmark of a dysfunctional organization is a gap between reality and rhetoric," says Ben Dattner, a New York organizational psychologist. When resources are not used effectively or fairly, when plans are heavy on talk but weak on action or when barriers to communication cripple performance, you’re dealing with a dysfunctional company.
Very good article, coming from someone who claimed women are better managers - I believe you can’t make such generalizations.
Women may well be better managers and I agree with much of what the author stated.
That said, becoming an exceptional manager of people is something anyone can learn how to do. I have helped many who were not well suited to managing/leading people (mostly males), helped them to completely change their methods and to become truly successful at turning on their people. The secret is in living up to the values which all of us respect, in making your actions reflect those values.
So it is not something predetermined by your sex.
