Tee For Two

You say tomato, men say tomahto. A recent survey commissioned by American Express reveals several notable work-related differences between men and women, including:

Dining. Men considered lunch meetings more productive for conducting business, while women preferred dinner meetings.

Travel. While most women said they prefer to network in flight, men generally choose to relax.

Though women may make the most of flying the friendly skies, they're not as likely to take off: Most men reported traveling more than 50 days for business in 1995, while the majority of women reported traveling for business 10 days or less.

Availability. More than 31 percent of women said they were "always" available to their offices, compared with 22.4 percent of men. Considering these responses, women may want to remember what they say about all work and no play.
