The Way Innovating Companies Are Designed Leaves Ambiguities, Overlaps, Decision Conflicts Or Decision Vacuums In Some Parts Of The Organisation. People Rail At This, Curse It-and Invent Innovative Ways To Overcome It.

A Great Idea Is Not Enough.

The Most Radical Thing We Can Do Is Connect People To One Another. That Starts Conversations Toward A Vision For Change.

Even The New Feminist Research On Sex-role Socialization And Sex Differences Has Sometimes Had The Unfortunate Consequence Of Creating A New Set Of Stereotypes About What Women Feel And How Women Behave. Despite The Large Amount Of Overlap Between The Sexes In Most Research, The Tendency To Label And Polarize And Thus To Exaggerate Differences Remains In Much Reporting Of Data, Which May, For Example, Report The Mean Scores Of Male And Female Populations But Not The Degree Of Overlap.

If Networks Of Women Are Formed, They Should Be Job Related And Task Related Rather Than Female-concerns Related. Personal Networks For Sociability In The Context Of A Work Organization Would Tend To Promote The Image Of Women Contained In The Temperamental Model - That Companies Must Compensate For Women's Deficiencies And Bring Them Together For Support Because They Could Not Make It On Their Own. But Job-related Task Forces Serve The Social-psychological Functions While Reinforcing A More Positive Image Of Women.
