These girls have high expectations for themselves and the people around them. And, that, in turn, has prompted the guys to behave differently.<BR/><BR/>As these kids are promoted to management positions, they will teach us all a few good lessons about the beauty of being different. <BR/><BR/>It's interesting... when I converse with the boys in her generation they show a subtle level of respect for women that their fathers don’t have.
