Discussions and responses Negotiation and conflict resolutions

Furthermore, I found the female supervisors to be more approachable compared to a male supervisor. The reason as to why female are perceived to be more approachable compared to male regards to the attestation that female supervisors are considered to be better communicators and empathetic which is more beneficial and productive.

Similar advantages and disadvantages associated with the two supervisors was encountered during our interaction.

One of the findings regards to the aspect of language. Notably, I found the female supervisors to be more accommodative and interesting to communicate with considering that their language is more appealing compared to males. The attestation associates with the fact that the female supervisor a more direct language that indulges disclaimers (“You Know”, “I thinks”). Therefore, interacting with the female supervisor was easier compared to the interaction with the male supervisor.
