职场英语：老板们的“管理废话”不分性别

Leaving perspectives to one side, I don’t see why anyone would want to make an idea into an actionable initiative in the first place. The only good idea on Wall Street is to make money, and there are no pat answers as to how one does that。

What all this tells us is not that all women talk drivel, but that everyone talks drivel when they start thinking about women as a general topic。

Indeed now even saying the word “women” is too blunt for some. A reader who has just returned from an Akzo Nobel meeting tells me that to promote board diversity the company is looking for candidates with a “female background”。

This is a most interesting development. Are they looking for transgender directors to sit on the board? Or people who were brought up in households where women predominated?

The very second that I was pondering this, an e-mail landed from the Association for Psychological Science with the subject line: “Too many sisters affect male sexuality。”

It said that various experiments had been most rigorously conducted on rats, the upshot of which was that rats brought up with lots of sisters spent less time mounting other rats than those brought up with males。

So here is my actionable initiative that will make me an Architect of Change?. Selection committees should find out how many sisters a man has before giving him a job. Too many sisters may not teach a man how to talk properly, but they do teach him how to behave。
