Male and Female Communication in the Office
Experts say that women have different communication styles of men, and that these differences could bring disadvantages in labor relations. In this note, some clues to reverse this problem
In the middle of last century, scientists in various branches of social sciences university created a “virtual”, gathered in seminars and private homes in California, United States, to study human communication.
At this University was called the “School of Palo Alto” or the “Invisible College” and one of the main theories is that human communication is both verbal and nonverbal (meta-communication), which also included the gender of The emitted.
All these concepts, and many others compiled by human resource professionals, were assessed in the workplace, more precisely in the office, where a large number of people are forced to live together and interact in a small space.
Something interesting that many experts said, is that women tend to be handled differently from men in their ways of communicating in the office. They tend to be very cautious in their statements, because on many occasions asked, even unnecessarily, the approval of others, and devalue their opinions.
Men, however, face many problems of communication in the office, because their styles of speaking are very direct. They point to get what they want, without asking too much permission.
But these differences between the communication style of a genre and another is more than just a curiosity, since they give rise to many misunderstandings.
Therefore, when a woman goes to the opposite sex would be a mistake to think that both are in the same “wave.” Thus, to clarify communication, it would be good to understand these differences and act accordingly, knowing that often the differences are not of substance but of form.
Thus, be wary that many things might not be as anticipated, but not issues “insurmountable.” And they would have less guilt.
Male Communication Vs. Female Communication.
The speeches of many women often have less strength in their need “natural” to satisfy the other, avoiding insults or offering too many excuses, often unnecessarily. This is something that all men should know, and many women try to change.
In some workplaces, men tend to talk to women with diminutive, almost like children, rising above them in many ways. These are undoubtedly very negative communications that affect women in various ways, and thus also to the relationship with your company hatched male labor.
It is very clear that we are speaking of sex discrimination. In such cases, women have several options in how they respond, but unfortunately, in some cases, fear fight to change these patterns of communication offensive to them, especially if these men are their superiors, which often happens.
Also fear reprisals from other superiors who could act corporately with men who have offended or afraid of being taken by radical feminists and be out of phase with the rest of society.
To change this, it would be well advised to begin to change this attitude, without having to engage in very direct confrontation, demonstrating leadership attitudes, independence, respect, personal safety (do not ask for more approvals!) And achievements to their peers.
If a woman is required to take additional tasks that are beyond their reach, should simply consider whether the order is just (not bad to make exceptions to keep our jobs, but only exceptions) and answer what you really see fit, without to explain.
But they should not take any decision without escort or sense of fair negotiations and persuasion intelligence (sorry, my son the flu …).
When a woman tries to be interrupted while speaking, you should keep talking, ignoring the other, without sounding rude, but to show firmness and decision, not be passed over. They should also emphasize their need to finish what they are saying.
When they start to hear more conmsideración and respect, his colleagues show more respect and understanding, and their positions will have greater relevance to the others. If their superiors are present, this will be even better.
A good suggestion to achieve this, it would be trying to make synthetic speech more forceful, to clarify your point of view, reducing the amount of unnecessary explanations and clarifications to avoid deviating from its objectives.
And above all remember that communication includes both the office and the informal formal speech. So, being in a better and more symmetrical line with all colleagues, send messages that will be most effective, and no doubt will be much easier to engage in effective communication.
The style and manner of communication in these areas are essential for good living and productivity, they determine that those present can be heard on their demands and advice, and therefore can take actions on it.
It also determines the mutual respect and the possibility of working together, joining forces and doing everything easier for everyone. Once the others involve a woman with the practical and concrete way of speaking, communication and thus improve his life and work in the office.
