How can one avoid misunderstandings and mistrust between men and women in the workplace? Based on interviews of over three thousand male employees, Shaunti Feldhahn describes how men tend to interpret the behavioral signals of their female colleagues and subordinates. This message is addressed primarily to women, to help them understand the rules by which they are judged and the factors which may serve or penalize them in their professional rapport with their male counterparts. For example, men and women typically have very different perceptions of how to manage emotions. This original point of view is well-worth discovering.
