Welcome to Soundview's summary in brief of Work with Me: The 8 Blind Spots Between Men
and Women in Business written by Barbara Annis and John Gray.
Annis is a world-renowned expert on Gender Intelligence and inclusive leadership. Her
work has inspired a shift in cultural attitudes about the importance of gender unity. She
is also the author of Same Words, Different Language.
Gray is the author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus and the founder of Mars Venus
Coaching. He has personally trained over 500 coaches in 27 countries in how to bridge the
gender gap in business through gender-smart leadership, sales, and team-building training
programs.
These two gender-leadership experts have combined forces in Work with Me to capture the candid
attitudes of women and men at work. In their collaboration, they define and explain eight
gender blind spots that continue to spawn misunderstandings and miscommunications between
the genders. Many of the details and scenarios within each explanation may seem very familiar
to you.
What becomes clear is men and women do almost everything differently. As the authors point
out, we communicate, solve problems, prioritize, make decisions, resolve conflicts, handle
emotions, and deal with stress differently.
Ultimately, Work With Me demonstrates how you can grow your gender intelligence. And
from this, you'll gain work-life harmony and enjoy less stress at work and at home.
