Schein cautioned us to be careful when talking about feminine leadership and said that the assumption that women lead differently from men is dangerous and perpetuates sex role stereo-typing. Her research found:

A. Female leaders to be more aggressive yet less cost effective than males
B. More differences within each sex than between the sexes
C. Males to be indifferent to stereotypical images of women leaders
D. Both genders to want to protect their ste-reotypes

Question 2

Research indicates that women value an attention to process; and a willingness to look at how an action will affect other people instead of simply asking, What's in it for me?' Conversely, men tend to value:

A. Accomplishing the organization's goals with attention to the employees' needs
B. Ensuring that the organization survives and not worrying about old partnerships
C. Managing the bottom line with a focus on limiting resources
D. Focusing on how to accomplish his vision and maximizing his own position
