My hypothesis as to why men do better at work is that men, due to their
sports and other patterns of interaction, have created nonverbal and
coded patterns of communication when doing business. I have seen
situations where negotiations on an issue have ended where both men and
women are present and women have not realized that a decision has been
made.
The males will be moving on to other issues while the woman is still
discussing the issue unaware that it has been resolved.
