I’ve had the pleasure (!) of working with both male and female quality managers. I realize that the role of Quality Manager is probably not something that most women aspire to….although I don’t know of any boys with such an aspiration either. Astronaut, fireman, or rock star maybe….but Quality Manager? I don’t think so. But I digress.
Of the very few female quality managers I’ve met, most have been horribly unorganized. Why is this? Now I’ll grant you that my sampling is small and unscientific, but I think there’s some merit to this. While there are undoubtedly some unorganized male quality managers, I think they are fairly rare. I’m guessing that anyone who has made a choice to go into the Quality field, especially in the ISO9001:2000 world, is probably pretty organized.
To be fair, most of the female quality managers I’ve met were thrust into their position by chance…..it was not their choice. And I’m betting these ladies were unorganized in whatever job they held before, and since.
