Four characteristics have been identified that distinguish the networking behaviours of more-successful women from those of their peers. In some cases those matched the behaviours of high-performing men; in others there were subtle but important differences.
Although these successful female networkers might feel an identity-driven desire and a stereotype-influenced pressure to help colleagues out and be a team player, they try to resist. They prune nonessential appointments from their calendars, deflect low-priority decisions and requests, run streamlined meetings, insist on efficient email norms, and set aside time for reflection and high-level thinking.
