SECTION IV



  • POWER

  • WIN-WIN, WIN-LOSE

Key Points:



  • For men, power is status; they are more interested in the perks and emblems of success.

  • Men live in a world of winners and losers; their jockeying for rank is associated with the hormone testosterone.

  • For women, power is connections.

  • Women need consensus and harmony; they swap information freely and are more careful to attribute ideas.

  • Women have a harder time working with people they don't like; men just want to "play the game. "

Questions:



  • How do the different views of power play out in the newsroom?

  • Remembering these are generalities that don't fit each person equally, where do you fit?

  • What problems and opportunities can these two views of power produce?

  • How good are people at attributing ideas to another?
