Most women seem to be process oriented. In contrast, men tend to be results oriented. I would describe maybe 5% of the women I meet as results oriented. And then there is the tendency to mother [grown] people who are failing, whiners, and/or crybabies. In a nutshell, that explains a great deal.
A good solution for that is to put women in process oriented jobs, and men in results oriented jobs. Most companies could optimize their performance by realizing that these two orientations can operate in parallel and both contribute to efficiency.
Too much focus on just results and you get Dilbert-style “pointy haired bosses”, who will ship empty boxes to customers just to make the shipping date. Too much focus on process and you have a superbly running machine that never produces anything to ship.
