My company will have a male dominated workplace. This will be from top management right up to the cleaners, Personal Assistant and receiptionist. I find that men are very competitive therefore results driven. Men work very hard because they have families to support and a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. Men work towards having a promotion rather than gift vouchers or a day at the spa, which females would accept as acknowledgement for their hard work. Men listen to women because they don't like to argue especially if it's their boss.
On the other hand, woman generally have an attitude towards other women especially if it's their boss. With women you have to deal with premenstrual stress (pms) and getting pregnant. This means that they are away from work for four months with their skills, experience and training they received. Women also suffer from phd (pull her down) syndrome. Women have to take time off to take care of their children because the nanny didn't come to work or the child is sick. On the contrary, employing men their wives or girlfriends are taking care of the children.
I have an Image Consultancy and my clients are all men. The beauty of male clients is that they pay on time and I don't have to run after them regarding a payment. At first, I also had female clients, but it was also such an issue because they wanted to bargain prices and after that didn't pay on time.
The key to keeping my company running successfully will be status reports. There will always be one-on-one meetings. These will require the employee to say what they have done or how far they are with their tasks. My employees will always know their job descriptions and what is expected from them. I would also ensure as an employer that I equip my employees with the necessary tools needed for them to do their jobs effectively and efficiently. One of the rules of the company is that everyone has individual and group responsibility of a campaign/project whether it succeeds or fails.
This is a completely different way of leading an organisation. Now I would want to work in your company, can I please be the second female to work there. I already have 2 children, I promise I'm not having anymore.
