Cause 1: Uncontrolled emotions Cause 2: Stressed feeling Conclusion:
Uncontrolled emotions and too much stress can result in irrational behavior. 参考作文：
There are a lot of people who behave irrationally, causing problems to themselves as well as to others. It's hard to analyze the exact causes behind irrational behavior, but we know that it is a manner of behavior that is not based on logic and reasoning. Irrational behavior is caused by various factors but two stand out.
The first main factor that contributes to irrational behavior is uncontrolled emotions. Irrational people take offense or get angry before the actual situation occurs. They become anxious and express exaggerated emotions such as crying and shouting. They have unrealistic expectations, expecting everyone to like them and if someone does not, they feel angry and neglected. It is fairly common for people to show such signs of irrationality.
Too much stress can also lead to irrational behavior. In fact, these days, stress is the major cause of physical as well as mental problems. Stress creates feelings of anger, irritation and frustration. For instance, when you spend a stressful day in the office, it makes you anxious. You start releasing your frustration or stress by screaming at your family members for small reasons like a badly prepared meal. That day you feel everything is wrong.

When a woman shows strength ofcharacter in a meeting, for instance, she may be seen as“aggressive”whereas her male counterpart is seen as “assertive”.
An additional example of gender barriers for women in theworkplace is the bimbo title, which is used to describe a womanwho got her position by playing a game of her female tricks. For thiskind of women, they are pretty but not necessarily intelligent. So, the general concept is that women are incompetent and that

Women's management style Introduction:
Thesis statement: Women’s management style tends to be more communicative and relationship-oriented.
Body:
Example 1: Being more communicative
Example 2: Being more relationship-oriented Conclusion:
Women’s natural management style helps them succeed in their workplace. 参考作文：
With a more progressive approach to diversity and a greater number of women being the leader of organizations, women today feel comfortable enough to use their natural management style at work. Their management style tends to be more communicative and relationship-oriented.
One example of their management style is being more communicative. Women usually have greater verbal ability and verbal comprehension than men. Their speaking skill is actually innate-born with it. Since they are usually more supportive, more inclined to delegate responsibilities and more willing to foster the careers of their employees than their male counterparts, they communicate more efficiently. As a result, employees are happy to share ideas with their female boss and feel excited to have their voice heard in making decisions.
Another example of women's natural management style is being more relationship-oriented. As we well understand, women are more emotionally and spiritually intelligent. This gives them the potential to be a more understanding boss than men. They know how to motivate their employees with human touches such as \well\cards and \you\They also know when to make concessions and

accommodate their employees' personal needs because they are not as rigid and stubborn as male bosses. Employees, of course, enjoy such a relationship with their female boss.
In brief, women's natural management style helps them succeed in their workplace. The fact that women are brought up to have verbal skills and emotional intelligence is a huge advantage. It's their strength and they need to use it more instead of disguising themselves.
