Once young boys cuss and spew foul language, their deeds are often tolerated as typical for their age. We take for granted that they are aiming to act big. Grown men flavor their vocabulary with sporadic profanity and it is customarily acceptable. On the flip side, female actions are anticipated to be more reserved than their male counterparts. This completely influences the interaction of both females and males. At work, we often find ourselves at loggerheads.
Now, whether male/female disparity stem from genetic framework, sway from parents, or cultural habituation by society, the fact is that we are dissimilar. We perform differently. We converse differently. Men frequently assume a direct, vigorous manner of communicating, while women typically adopt a quieter, more tentative, questioning approach. The result of these differing uses of language often leads to misunderstandings. One way we can begin to breach the communication rift is by accepting and validating these male and female differences.
The first step toward superior communication is to recognize our differences. Different does not mean wrong. Men tend to identify themselves through their accomplishments. They love to control things on their own. So at work, if a woman intimates to a man that he could employ some help, he may feel she believes he is inept or, worse, bungling.
Women identify who they are generally through the connectedness of their associations and through feelings. Reorder the above situation, and the woman may not as likely take affront at the proposition. A great deal of our business communication is built upon the elucidation of the male and female listener. Words are only as practical as the way they are heard and comprehended.
The second step is to study the system of communication. We follow rules for virtually everything we do. As we engage in sports, we play by the rulebook; as we drive, we pursue the policies of safe driving, when we take part in games, we play according to the guidelines. Master the rules that men pursue when they commune. Endeavor to recognize the rules women also instinctively follow for winning communication.
Realize that for communication between men and women to be effectual, we must distinguish the dissimilarity between male and female communication approaches. Both sexes, at home or in the workplace, whether speaking or listening, employ communication methods intended to meet their primary communication needs.
Men need to feel honored, to feel well-liked, to feel cherished, to feel accepted of, and to feel trusted. On the flip side, women need to feel confirm, to feel respected, to feel understood, to feel at peace, and to feel loved.

 Carl Madden - Search Engine Marketing Consultant at Osato Tree - There are many times I have been stuck on something, but now I that I am working with Teo Graca, I know I can get unstuck quickly. He has a way of getting at the meat of the solution to any problem when it comes to business planning. I really don't know anyone with such a well rounded skill set. I think that is what makes it possible for him to do what he does. I highly recommend Teo and Net-Teams! - March 15, 2012, Carl was Teo's client |
