Interestingly, women benefited twice as much as men from disciplined collaboration. Why might women benefit so much more from collaborating?

More women were also better at seeking information outside their core team. This gender effect is the second among the seven practices in this book: women in our study did better collaborating, while men did better championing forcefully (as discussed in chapter six).
