Women also tend to have a 'team' mentality, whereas some guys (not all to be fair) like to be the 'rock star'. I could go on all day about how I hate the competitive cooking shows that dominate reality TV. Real life cooking in a professional kitchen is not about competition of that sort, you have to be good, but you have to be good within a framework and hierarchy of others. When things are falling together in the sweet spot and everyone is on the same page, it is one of the highest highs. I blame these shows for making it look like a competition and many young cooks coming in tend to think that that is what is expected of them and behave accordingly.
