vsbabu.org comments on Women are better managers? Saying that the article misses the real point, focusing on deliverables happen. Male and female managers are both equally horrible at achieving deliverables, add working completed deliverables. I’m betting part of it has to do with a lack of delivering as a focus from management training. Anecdote, I only had one business class in college. It had the majority of grade coming from a “team” project. Everybody research part of a topic, wrote a group paper then present the findings to the rest of the class. There were 6 teams and only one completed the whole assignment on time yet the class GPA was 3.3. Or as an uncle of mine who has been a mainframe programmer for 30+ years would say, “It used to be that nothing shipped unless it was flawless, today we ship everything early and but nothing works.”
