A statistic shows that men and women who share the same personality traits, but have very different rates of success at work. When it comes to success at work, men still have an edge over women.
1. Statistics
Researchers surveyed 106 men and women earning at least 100,000 USD per year (nearly 2.3 billion VND), about half of which are millionaires. They found that there were no significant differences in human personality traits, childhood experiences, work and leadership styles between the sexes.
However, up to 77% of women say they have experienced sexism in their work, while this rate among men is only 6%. 44% of women said they had to take care of everything at home, from housework to children, even including other sick family members. Compared to women, this rate accounts for only 4% of men.
On the other hand, men are often said to be the main earners in the family, accounting for 94% compared to 59% of women.
A psychological consultant in the United States said: Both men and women agree that women who want to succeed need to overcome specific obstacles, mainly due to childbirth, caring responsibilities larger families and sexism.

2. Human personality between men and women is similar
What surprised the experts was that the similarities between the traits of men and successful women were more evident than in the differences. One of the most striking similarities is the overwhelming leadership style. That means they all have a vision in place, motivating subordinates to pursue those goals, and rewarding employees for taking steps to meet their expectations.
Other findings that point to similarities between successful men and women are:
On a scale of 1 to 7, both sexes have an average score out of 5 when debating an issue before moving on. conclude. About 8 out of 10 men and women say that communication skills - both verbal and written, are vital to getting ahead in the company. About two-thirds of leaders think that integrity, honesty, and confidence in management skills are the keys to success. Most of the interviewees also said they have high self-esteem. However, the survey did not reveal whether they had a self-respecting personality before or just formed after being successful and rich. The difference is that men report working longer hours, nearly 54 hours a week compared to 49 hours a week for women.
Compared to men, more successful women are not born into wealthy families. About 32% of successful women and 17% of men said they were born in low-income households; 52% of women and 42% of men come from middle-class households.
Although most children of wealthy families go on to succeed in their own careers, in reality many millionaires also have their beginnings from a poor childhood.
