The apparent reason for Greene's ouster "business strategy" can very well be a gender issue since women think, plan and manage differently then men. I often find myself at odds with the testosterone powered managers of the company for which I manage Human Resources. Although I am well-trained, well-read and well-educated, my ability to contribute is hindered by the fact that the male managers have chosen to see me as incapable of understanding business because I am a woman. Not one of them has sat down with me to discuss a problem and listened to the possible solutions that could come out of that discussion. I'm not suggesting that women have all the answers or can do it better, only that when men and women learn to work together, things will work better.
