Book description
Men and women exhibit distinct, innate, and acculturated sex
differences in their verbal and nonverbal communication styles. In the
work environment, the difficulties and misunderstandings generated by
these differences not only reduce productivity and efficiency but also
lower morale. In this book, the authors show through empirical research
and extensive anecdotal evidence-garnered from fifty years of combined
corporate work experience, research, gender seminars, coaching and
consulting-the specific verbal and nonverbal behaviors men and women
employ that define our sex roles' expectations yet paradoxically often
ultimately result in barriers to effective inter-gender communication.
