Thoughts to ponder ...

Tonight I was having dinner with the senior leadership team of a credit union and I ask each leader to tell me what motivates them and/or how they like to receive recognition - through praise, thank you, awards, etc. There were 15 women and 4 men.
The men all mentioned that they like to see someone they mentor achieve. The women all mentioned that they like the satisfaction of a job well done and that they didn't need recognition. I must admit that this was surprising as I know that most women will tell me they want to be appreciated... Why are we afraid to say that? Why do men focus on coaching and women focus on doing the job? Interesting thought for me to ponder...
