Women make better business leaders than man in all but two areas of management, but men have the upper hand when it comes to focusing on the bottom line, according to an Australian survey released on Monday.
Data collected from 1,800 Australian female and male chief executive officers and managers found women exhibit more strategic drive, risking taking, people skills and innovation, and equaled men in the area of emotional stability.
But men came out on top when it came to comman and control of management operations and focusing on financial returns.
The poll, conducted for the Steps Leadership Program by employment consultancy firm Peter Berry Consultancy, found women were more likely to take a chance with their ideas and challenge the status quo(現(xiàn)狀).
“Women are ambitious (有雄心的), bold, colorful and imaginative. They are more confident, competitive, imaginary and have a stronger presence,” Gillian O’Mara, general manager of the Steps Leadership Program, said in a statement.
But the survey showed that men were more task focused and concentrated on getting the job done rather than dealing with relationships. “Men believe that that bottom line dollars are the only game in town. Their key motives and preferences in life appear to be around income, budgets and profit(利潤). At work and at home, they are driven by financial opportunities,” said O’Mara.
“Men are task focused and concentrate on getting the job done without bothering too much with relationships. They are more comfortable with different classes and processes.”
The results of the survey, which was based on an international research-based personality test called the Hogan Assessment System used by organizations to select employees, will be presented at a female leadership meeting in

Scientists have uncovered the exact difference between man and mouse. Teams of scientists from around the world will publish today the draft(草圖) genome(基因組) of the mouse, which enables them for the first time to compare another mammal’s entire DNA directly with that of a human.
The similarities are far greater than the difference-man and mouse share a comman ancestor that lived more than 70 million years ago-which has allowed scientists to find treatments for a good many human diseases.
British members of the project say the draft mouse genome, published in the journal Nature, has provided the “phrasebook” for scientists to translate the language of the human genome.
“The entire biomedical research community said for the first time fully using this resource to deal with human diseases. They will now have powerful tools that will serve them for many years to come,” said Dr. Jane Rogers, head of sequencing at the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which did 20 percent of the work.
Comparisons show almost every gene in the mouse has a corresponding(對應(yīng)的) gene in humans-a 99 percent similarity that should help to find how each human gene works. Already the work has been able to show that man and mouse each have about 30,000 genes yet only 300 or so are unique to either species, increasing the value of the lab mouse as a “model” for human genetics.
This is an extraordinary milestone. For the first time we have an opportunity to see ourselves in an evolutionary(進化的) mirror. The mouse genome stands for a very important chapter in the lab notebook of evolution. By taking away genes to create sick mice, scientists have been able to reproduce a number disorders. Knowing the entire genomes of humans and mice will enable them to employ the technique more widely leading to a rapid development in the understanding of illnesses.
