Mitrofanova Valentina Vasilievna Biography

Ask a question to the host or guest Yu. Grymov: - Good evening. I remind you that every Tuesday and Friday from 17 to 18 hours you can listen to us on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio. Today we have such a semi-holiday program, but we probably would not have been a “cultural code” if we had not been looking for any problems if they had not been looking for any new solutions to even old problems ...

So recently, the Synergy analytical center of the University of the University conducted a survey in which a person aged 20 to 55 years took part. But in general, the figure is so strange. Because I have my own attitude to women who work. I believe that women work much better. That is, as an employee, a woman is always better. Today we will talk about this with Valentina Vasilyevna Mitrofanova, director of the Institute of Professional Personnel.

Valentina Vasilievna, good evening. Mitrofanova: - Good evening. Grymov: - Valentina Vasilievna, it turns out, you work badly. Somehow you have to change something, probably. Are you serious about this figure? Here are your personal observations - women willingly hire managers? Mitrofanova: - I, as a specialist not only in personnel management, but also a candidate of economic sciences, very carefully refer to what statistics are and what surveys are.

Therefore, here, of course, it is important to understand who was interviewed, in which sectors they interviewed, in what areas were interviewed? Unfortunately, all this has a great effect on numbers. But absolutely accurately, that in leading positions, of course, the proportion of women in comparison with men is much less, but my personal opinion is why this is bad. That is, in this case, because we, if we compare, for example, the positions of housewives, people who work in the field of service, in the field of tourism, there we will see much more women.

And we will not talk about whether this is bad or good. There are simply traditional positions in which there are more women and there are professions in which there are traditionally more men.

Grymov: - I apologize, today we have some very unsuccessful connection ... We switched to the phone now ... And I remind you that Valentina Vasilievna Mitrofanova, director of the Institute of Professional Personnel, was visiting us. Valentina Vasilievna, are you a director, is your path to this position difficult? And what was the difficulty? Still, a woman -leader is not very traditional ...

V. Mitrofanova: - Well, my personal experience is probably not very indicative, because I am a director in my own company in which I am the founder. But at the same time, I do not think that this is bad, it seems to me that it is absolutely justified from the point of view of professional characteristics, professional qualities, which are still different in women and men.

Grymov: - And what is the real difference between the leader of a woman and a man of a man? What disadvantages do you see in this? Or advantages? Mitrofanova: - It seems to me that here the question is probably not the difference between a man and a woman, but the question is how a specific person corresponds to a specific professional position. Because if we are talking about the number of women's leaders, yes, there are very few of them on top positions, that is, on the leaders of large companies.

But as soon as we are talking about deputy genesan directors, about media management, about the heads of structural units, in fact, there will be almost 50 to 50 there, and in many industries there will even be much more women there. Therefore, traditionally in tourism and in the service we have more than a woman, if we take a state corporation of oil, mechanical engineering, it is clear that there will be traditionally more men of men.

And from my point of view, this is absolutely justified precisely by professional characteristics. Profession and professional characteristics of the industry in which a person works. That is, what do men are characterized by men? A man is a strategist, a man is a system, achievement, capture, it is a struggle. Therefore, to be the head of a large company, of course, the basic such characteristics are much more in a man.

A woman is a preservation, it is friendship, this is a friendship, this is a service, this is communication, so if we talk about service services, there will be traditionally more women leaders and this is absolutely consistent with ... Yu. Grymov: - It turns out that these studies, when the Russians said that they would not want to work under the start of a woman, they are still far -fetched, right?

Well, that is, they may be a little crooked, because it is clear that this is what you said that in a certain activity a woman is simply necessary, there can be no other leader. But if you still put on one such platform-we take some kind of profession where there were mostly men, there is some kind of shift towards women? Here were always the directors of this enterprise or company of a man, and suddenly women began to appear.

Is there such statistics? Mitrofanova: - Well, probably there is.Our problem is that there is no objective statistics so that we can see it in the context of the industry, by years, according to certain specifics. I believe that there are always exceptions. The only question is how much we can accept these exceptions with you as a kind of picture. And in the members of the board of large banks there are women.

Is this traditional? No, this is not traditional. That is, as a rule, there are still men. They were there, they stay there and, most likely, if there is no exception - a woman with good strategic professional characteristics - most likely, the male composition of members of the board will remain. Grymov: - And what is the image of a modern woman for you? What new in recent years has appeared in this image?

Here you communicate with people who are looking for work or there people who are looking for employees and you select them. Here's what has changed in the form, in the image of a woman leader? What did you feel directly over the past 5 years? Mitrofanova: - Absolutely women who build a career, it is important to understand that this is a certain type of woman. On it you can not measure all other women.

That is, a woman who is building a career is very close to a masculine type. Therefore, now the abundance of education programs, trainings, the ability to learn, take mentors, it, of course, is also moving a woman as a professional. That is, women become more professional leaders, if we compare there with dashing mi, for years, when we did not have such a management system, built in the country, now there is access to this all information.

Including women. I would not say that this is a characteristic only of women. We and men also study a lot, systematize a lot, undergo various training programs. A man, as a manager, also becomes a professional. Therefore, I believe that this trend is absolutely equal in this part. Grymov: - And what does the male character mean? You said that women leaders have more masculine character.

Can you say what it is? Right through the commas, Mitrofanov: - I can give a banal example, connected, for example, with the driving of a car. Women are beautiful drivers, men are beautiful drivers, and there and there there are those who know how to control the machine well, and the one who does not know how to control. That is, it depends, rather, not on the floor, but on the availability of certain characteristics.

A man has a different vision, another vision ... Yu. Grymov: - Well, look, so I literally recently read statistics, not because there are fewer women at the wheel, but men create more emergency situations. A woman is more restrained and much less in women. And not because there are few women drivers. So, after all, here you said a male character - what is it? Mitrofanova: - A male character in a woman is an analytical mindset.

That is, where there are more analysts than emotions. That is, where the left hemisphere works more. Systematic, analytics, ability to control, build processes. That is, everything that is traditionally inherent in men. And there are women who really have the left hemisphere is very well developed and excellent leaders are also obtained from them. But traditionally, the most part in women is developed the right hemisphere.

These are emotions, creativity, friendship, this is still not an analytical mindset. Even if we compare with you by how many male engineers we have, and how many female engineers. How many women and men are in the exact technical sciences and education. That is, this is also very indicative. That is, women have a tendency to certain objects and sciences, men have a tendency to analytics and other subjects and sciences.

Grymov: - Then I will tell you in contrast. Here in our second part there will be a beautiful director theatrical - Marina Brusnikina. I will say such a thing that in the field of art, that is, directors, theaters, cinema directors, there are very few women. So, it turns out that there is some kind of mismatch with what you say. Few famous beautiful directors of women.
