It’s one of the approaches being used to feminize the workplace.
By “feminize” I don’t mean allowing women career opportunities commensurate with skills and experience.
Instead, I mean, using a traditionally feminine yardstick (empathic listening, not being brusque or displaying bravado, inclusiveness) to measure male performance.
Question. Since men have emotional reactions but respond differently than women (action vs verbal), do you really think this test will be used that way? A very smart HR person will use the results to get results.
I wish I wasn’t so extreme in the empathy/emotion dept.
