They promote weak young women or weak personality men, who have no natural skill at dealing with conflict, and thus, they flee to "bureaucratic/legalistic" penalties. <br /><br />Actually, this is not a bug, this is a feature. In the corporate world, they want submissives and conformists, especially as 1st and 2nd line managers. <br /><br />Dr. Phi, I suspect the reason you "end up being a social pariah" is because you are in a female-dominated institution (education). That is how females deal with conflict.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023125641719686613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-567392557793210262012-07-09T08:50:58.065-04:002012-07-09T08:50:58.065-04:00in business and the military you often get into pr...in business and the military you often get into problems because the person with nominal authority does not also have a matching level of personal dominance. In teh workplace most men will defer to the nominal authority until that authority demonstrates weakness. Then natural dominance will butt heads. The authority figure doesn't know how to deal with that so they use their authority to jack around the junior dominant personality. This creates a level of hostility int eh organization that harms productivity. It also seems to be a universal problem in those organizations that depend on a hierarchy to function and do not promote the dominant personalities to fill that hierarcy (The military promotes based on longevity and ticket punching that mostly ignores personal dominance)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
