(Jossey-Bass/John Wiley), by Michael Gurian and Barbara
Annis.
Book publicity and keynotes will follow publication. To learn
more about the book and the Gurian Institute's corporate work, please
click www.gendertrainings.com.
---
"Finally,
a scientific explanation of why men and women behave differently in the
workplace, and practical advice for leveraging these differences to
improve business performance. LEADERSHIP
AND THE SEXES
makes a sound case for redefining our notions of what it takes to be a
successful executive – companies seeking to retain top talent
would be wise to pay close attention to this book."
— Yezdi
Pavri, Managing Partner, Deloitte & Touche
¤
"LEADERSHIP
AND THE SEXES
is an exciting new book by gender team Michael Gurian and Barbara
Annis. It offers critical insight into the minefield of gender
relationships in the workplace, and is a tool I have been missing.
Corporate America needs the knowledge this new book gives us. I
can’t wait to start implementing the authors’ ideas.
— Pernille
Lopez, President of IKEA North America
¤
"Much
of what we have learned thus far about marketing to and leading men and
women is based on observing cultural influences. LEADERSHIP
AND THE SEXES
brings a scientific basis that simply takes everyone's understanding to
a whole new level. The opportunity this understanding brings
to
be more effective is a competitive advantage both in and outside our
company."
— Jim Weber,
President and CEO, Brooks Sports
¤
"LEADERSHIP
AND THE SEXES
is an important work and Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis are perfect
to write it. Filled with practical, accessible information,
this
is a book that all of us need to read, whether we deal with men and
women at work or leading in our communities or families."
— Daniel
Amen, M.D., Neuropsychiatrist, the Amen Clinics,
and
bestselling author of SEX ON THE BRAIN.
