Difference between male and female grad students

August 12, 2013 5:08 PM

I can't find an article (or an informal study) about the gender differences between a group of grad students. The male students were consistently doing better because they went to the professor and asked for more responsibilities (like teaching a class), while the female students thought the professors would come to the female students when the professors thought the female students were ready.

I want to use this to show ways leadership can engage people at my work.

Best answer: Your description reminds me of a specific example included in the excellent book Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide.
