I work with in a male dominated industry. I also manage a team that is made up of 10 males.
One of the things I notice is how LVM and HVM talk about their kids and wives.
For example, the HVM seem to know everything going on in their kids lives and they gush endless about their wives, they are the ones who plan dates and will sit up all night in hospital with their kid in that’s sick. They never complain about their wives or kids .
Then the LVM bitch and whinge that their kids don’t sleep, their wives aren’t interested in them anymore and they don’t seem engaged in their kids lives, if their kid is sick their poor wife deals with it.
I've also noticed that the HVM are better collaborators, harder workers and will volunteer to help people or do tasks that aren’t the most high profile. The HVM also dress more appropriately for work. ie don’t turn up in gross smelly gym clothes
The LVM look for glory and acknowledgment that they are doing a good job. Whereas the HVM just do a good job and they know it.
Honestly even the ones who seem HV based on how they talk probably aren’t all HV. Lots of LVM know how to appear as amazing in public as they enjoy other people thinking they are amazing fathers and husbands. What is really going on at home could be so different
Great insight! I am doing my MBA program and we have a lot of teamwork. Ive noticed that a team can handle maybe 1 LVM. But, the more LVM and LVW on the team there are, the harder it is to collaborate and do things well- because of the things you mentioned, like these folks wanting to take credit for everything, do the least amount of work, and cause drama because they are so insecure. oh, and these people make hundreds of thousands of dollars 🤣 how much BS your team can take depends on the size and make up of the other members. Your team structure is essential to your success, and it’s one of my biggest take always from the program. It’s not easy to manage 10 men, props to you 👑
I was on a team with LVM who did this. As a manager, can't you make them stop? Misogynistic bitching about wives and daughters has nothing to do with work and is not work-appropriate.
