The following symbols have appeared on clothes labels for four decades, each one chosen by international experts for its simplicity and clarity.
Yet for most people, washing instructions might as well be written in Martian.
According to a new poll, nine in ten people are unable to decipher common symbols used on clothes labels. Even those who have mastered the difference between a wool and a synthetics（化学合成物）wash admit being baffled by the confusing array（排列）of boxes, circles and crosses used to give advice about drying and bleaching（漂白）.
The findings come from a poll of 2,000 people carried out by YouGov for Morphy Richards. A third of people surveyed said that they recognized none of the several symbols shown, while the only symbol recognized by more than half of people was the iron with a single dot. Around 70 per cent knew it meant "iron on a low heat". Just 10 per cent sign knew the sign for "do not dry clean", while only 12 per cent were familiar with "drip dry only".
Despite the sexual revolution, women are still more knowledgeable than men. Awareness was highest among 18 to 29-year-old women---for whom taking care of clothes is clearly important.
Chris Lever, from Morphy Richards, said: "Clothes Care symbols are a unique language, clearly a language that few people in the UK have taken the time to learn."
"Learning the basics such as which icon represents tumble dry and which represents normal wash would go a long way to getting the best out of clothes."
The Home Laundering Consultative Council said it was not surprised to learn that people were unfamiliar with them.
"It's disappointing that there is a lack of recognition, but it's a story that's repeated time and time again," said a spokesman, Adam Mansell. "We are a small organization and we don't have a big budget."

What Women Know About Leadership that Men Don’t

   An effective modern leader requires a combination of intellectual qualities — the ability to think analytically, strategically and creatively — and emotional ones, including self-awareness, empathy and humility(谦逊). In short, great leadership begins with being a complete human being.

   I meet far more women with these qualities than men, and especially when it comes to emotional and social intelligence. While, the vast majority of CEOs and senior executives I’ve met over the past decade have been men with limitations. Most of them resist introspection(反思), feel more comfortable measuring outcomes than they do managing emotions, and under-appreciate the powerful connection between how people feel and how they perform.

   I’m not suggesting that gender ensures or precludes（妨碍）any specific qualities. For the most part, however, women, more than men, bring to leadership a more complete range of the qualities that modern leaders need, including self-awareness, emotional attunement(协调) and humility.

   That’s not just my own view. In one study of 2,250 adults conducted by the PEW center, women were rated higher on a range of leadership qualities, including honesty, intelligence, diligence and creativity.

   For all that, women still hold only 14 percent of senior executive positions in Fortune 500 companies. So why do women remain so vastly underrepresented at the highest levels of large companies?

   There are many answers, including the fact that even the most educated women typically take the primary role in raising their children, and are far more likely than men to scale back their careers and ambitions, or even leave the workforce altogether.

   Perhaps the key explanation is that men commonly bring more of one key quality to the competition for senior leadership roles: aggression, which comes from Latin, meaning stepping before or in front of someone. From an early age, men often overvalue their strengths, while women too frequently underrate theirs. In reality, we all struggle to feel a stable sense of value and self-worth. Men often defend against their doubts by moving to inflation(自命不凡), while women more frequently move to insecurity.

   But the leadership skills needed to be successful today are far more multi-dimensional than ever before.

   Instead, we need more male leaders with the courage to stand down, comfortably acknowledge their shortcomings, and help their staff feel safe and appreciated, rather than fearful and inadequate. We need more women with the courage to step up, fully own their strengths, and lead with confidence and determination while also holding on to their humanity and humility.

   We need a new generation of leaders — men and women —who willingly embrace their opposites.
