Work with Me

Work with Me

Barbara Annis and John Gray explore the differences in communication, leadership styles, and workplace behavior between men and women. The book highlights eight common misunderstandings or to be more exact “blind spots” that often lead to miscommunication and conflict in the workplace. These blind spots are deeply rooted in gender-specific ways of thinking and interacting, and the authors provide insights and strategies for overcoming them to foster a more collaborative and effective work environment.

The authors argue that recognizing and understanding these differences can lead to better teamwork, increased productivity, and a more inclusive workplace culture. They use a combination of scientific research, case studies, and practical advice to illustrate how men and women can bridge their differences. By acknowledging these blind spots, organizations can create a more harmonious and efficient work environment, where both men and women feel valued and understood.

Gender intelligence – the awareness and appreciation of gender differences – is crucial for modern businesses, and the book encourages readers to move beyond stereotypes and embrace a more nuanced understanding of how men and women operate differently yet complement each other in the workplace. The book aims to help professionals at all levels improve their communication, collaboration, and mutual respect.
