Blended management was born of diversity, namely the increase of women in managerial position. It takes a blend of gender styles in terms of managerial interation to manage everyone in one's workplace equally and fairly yet forcefully and directly. Sharpening one's personal talents in a blended style means honing in on once-neglected talent such as traditionally 'feminine attributes' of strong communication skills, the ability to be empathetic to the multifaceted concerns of one's employees, taking a grass-roots rather than a top-down approach that solicits opinions of others rather than management (including subordinates and the organization's customers) when necessary, a willingness to reinvent the rules of the organization when the rules of the marketplace change, and a willingness to combine all of these assets with an obsession with customer preferences. (Griffin, 2001)

These female or supposedly softer skilled attributes may be combined with more traditionally masculine and self-serving traits on the part of the manager in the interests of career advancement, such as focusing on one's personal achiements, the cut-throat competitive drive to turn challenges into opportunities, and the ability to stick to one's objective in a way that demands decisivenes under pressure.
