ATTRIBUTES

WEB THINKING

Key Points:

Women excel at verbal fluency; men at spatial aptitudes.

Men excel at step thinking; women at web thinking and multitasking.

Genes, hormones and brain architecture influence gender differences.

Men and women need each other to get ahead.

Questions:

What is the impact of web thinking in the newsroom?

What is the impact of step thinking?

How can these thinking processes be misunderstood? (Women might be perceived as scatter-brained, men as rigid.)

How can these thinking processes work for us rather than against us?
