Having more Women in your Team will make it a Better Team? Yes? No?

This might get me in hot water with my male friends, but the answer is YES.
Having more women in your team will make it a better, smarter team. Do I hear "and she has the nerve to add smarter"!! So, it is now not only "better", but "smarter" too?!! YES again...

Research studies from Carnegie Mellon and MIT show that if you want a smarter team, include more women in it. They are not referring to mere intelligence, since we all know that men and women are equally intelligent or equally dull (whatever the case may be). Their studies show that for a team to succeed, the members of the team must have high social sensitivity, and women always always score higher in social sensitivity rankings. Once again, there are men who are very much equipped with social sensitivity as well, but with women, social sensitivity is the norm. Being socially sensitive means you maintain an open mind during discussions. The team dynamics you adhere to is that of brain-storming and accepting any negative criticisms that may come your way. It is giving way to those who at the specific time has the best idea and not just barrelling-on with what you initially perceived as the best course. If in a team it is only the so-called "smart" persons who run the show, then it is not really a smart team.

Women are 'nurturers'....and that nurturing attitude transfers to a team in the way they help their team-mates be more collaborative and be more open about what they are passionate about. Who can question the fact that when you are passionate about something, you put your heart and soul into it, resulting in the fruition of whatever goals you've set?!! Multiply this open passion into however many members there are in a team, have them all work in unison and you have a great team in your hands.

The long and short of it is --- women help their team-mates work together in a 'smarter' manner.

Do I still hear mumbled rumblings from the male species?
