Are women better communicators than men? A recent study at the University Of Maryland School Of Medicine found that girls have a higher level of Foxp2—a protein in the brain associated with language capabilities—than boys do.
While the debate continues as to whether such qualities are inherent or learned, from where I sit, I do see some unique communications qualities in women that I believe are much needed in the halls of management. But this goes beyond the stereotypical view often voiced that women are more empathetic and good listeners.
