Women: take care of the present.

Both male entrepreneurs and female entrepreneurs believe that men and women do have gender differences in management style.

Of all the male and female entrepreneurs surveyed, 88.89% of men and 83.33% of women entrepreneurs affirmed the difference.

From the point of view of management, although male entrepreneurs and female entrepreneurs have paid more attention to business strategy and business related matters, male entrepreneurs are better at thinking about the future of enterprises, while female entrepreneurs have made more efforts to manage the current enterprises.

On the whole, male entrepreneurs focus more on strategic decisions and business matters, while female entrepreneurs are more distracted. Apart from the less concerned about the future direction of development, other tasks such as administration, personnel and public relations have distracted their attention.

There are also some differences between male and female entrepreneurs in understanding the competitive advantage of enterprises.

Compared with women, male entrepreneurs pay more attention to the capital strength of enterprises, while female entrepreneurs value the market share, technological superiority and scale of enterprises more.

Among all the leaders surveyed, the ratio of male entrepreneurs to capital strength was 12.12%, while that of women was only 9.09%.

However, women entrepreneurs who believe that the competitive advantage of enterprises is reflected in the market share is about 9 percentage points higher than that of men.

There are differences between male and female entrepreneurs in the choice of "leaders' ability / quality".

In the view of women entrepreneurs, the ability / quality that an enterprise leader must possess is "decision-making and planning ability", "vision and insight", and "ability to select and cultivate talents". The selection rate is 47.22%, 44.44%, and 44.44% respectively. In male entrepreneurs, the three abilities / qualities are "vision and insight", "decision-making and planning ability", and "ability of communication and interpersonal communication", respectively, in the selection rate of 51.43%, 48.57% and 40% respectively.

Compared with the choice of male and female entrepreneurs, female entrepreneurs pay more attention to the selection and training of talents, which is about 22 percentage points higher than that of male entrepreneurs 22.86%.

The neglect of talent selection and training ability by male entrepreneurs is reflected in the serious shortage of talents in the current management of enterprises.

Of all the surveyed entrepreneurs, 44.12% of male entrepreneurs admit that the shortage of talent is the most serious problem they face. In the view of female enterprises, although 22.86% of women think that talent is also the most serious problem they face at present, it has dropped by 20 percentage points compared with men.

Men are more confident on this issue. 41.67% of male entrepreneurs believe that men are more suitable than women to be corporate leaders.

　　成為企業家原因

Male: diligence + talent

Women: diligence + opportunity

Female entrepreneurs' lack of confidence in leading positions may stem from their views on ideal careers.

Of all the entrepreneurs surveyed, 44.44% of female entrepreneurs admit that business leaders are not their ideal careers. For example, Wang Jiafen, chairman and general manager of Guangming dairy joint stock company, admitted that their ideal career is to be a teacher.

Compared with women, male entrepreneurs are more confident in their career orientation and role identification than female entrepreneurs.

Of all the entrepreneurs surveyed, 57.14% of the men affirmed that becoming a business leader is their ideal.

But compared with other choices of male and female entrepreneurs, men will more often attribute their current achievements to their personal efforts. 17.65% of men believe that being able to become an enterprise leader is their talent and a ratio of 8 percentage points higher than that of women.

However, 28.13% of female entrepreneurs believe that being able to become an enterprise leader is an opportunity.

　　首先是女人，然后是管理者

Should women keep women's character in management?

As the world's first woman CEO, Hewlett-Packard Co chairman and CEO Carly, "once I am a manager, then I am a woman."

But in the eyes of Chinese entrepreneurs, a woman entrepreneur is a woman first and then a manager.

Of all the entrepreneurs surveyed, 60% of men and women entrepreneurs believe that women should maintain their female character in management.

It is worth noting, however, that women are more concerned about their sex differences with men. 31.43% of female entrepreneurs believe that women's characteristics should be diluted in management, which is about 6 percentage points higher than that of men.

What are the differences between women and men in their personality traits?

According to the data from the questionnaire, although male entrepreneurs or female entrepreneurs regard "tenacity" and "pragmatism" as the character traits of a business leader, men are more optimistic and cautious on the basis of these two characteristics, while women are more sensitive and flexible.

　　女性更重家庭

But in the view of male entrepreneurs, this figure is just the opposite. 14.29% of male entrepreneurs believe that career is more important than family, and that only 5.71% of male entrepreneurs are more important than family.
