One can find it problematic to communicate in today?s information society and therefore has the importance of distributing information the right way grown. Managers possess the authority to control what information is to be distributed how and that has created a big need for managers to learn how to communicate. This study was conducted in hope of enlightening the phenomenon male and female management communication. We chose to do a case study on two managers on Solna Stad in Stockholm. One male and one female. We did one interview and one observation one each manager. The observations were carried out during a one hour management meeting session. We chose to organize and analyze the material from the interviews and observations with Sargent and Thylefors theory on male and female leadership skills. Their point of view on management leadership skills are gender dependent. They divide leadership skills into three classifications. These divisions contain leadership skills that ascribe; male leaders, female leaders and neutral skills. We question this theory. Our study shows us that our studied managers possess leadership skills from all of Sargent and Thylefors classifications, therefore we make the conclusion that our studied managers do not communicate gender specific.
