Some were great some were useless . I could have cared less if you wore a bra/skirt , boxers/tee shirt or whatever I cared about getting the job done ! If the person was capable then welcome to the team . If the person was ONLY hired because of gender or skin color but couldn't tie their shoes you were worthless to the team . It really is that simple .
A motivated team ALL pulling in the same direction are almost unstoppable regardless of gender . But that team needs good communication and motivation from a strong leader . And a good leader will recognize each team members strengths and weaknesses and pull the best out of everyone . My wife worked 30 years in the same industry and I know for a fact she enhanced every team she was a part of . It's not about gender it's about qualifications for the job . |
