The Male Factor
by Shaunti Feldhahn
Remember reading the book Stranger in a Strange Land? Well, The Male Factor by Shaunti Feldhahn describes the “strange land” that women go to every day when they go to work and don’t realize how different it is from their own “country.” Based on hard core research that consisted of a nationwide survey and confidential interviews with more than three thousand men, this book presents an unprecedented description of how men in the workplace tend to think and the expectations that they have of women with whom they work. The mismatch Feldhahn points out is significant and imperative for women to know about in order to succeed. This is not the “typical” “Mars Venus” book, rather, because the men in the surveys and interviews were guaranteed anonymity, they spoke in a candid and uncensored way about their daily interactions with women bosses, employees, and colleagues, as well as what they see as the most common forces of friction and misunderstanding between men and women at work. Join us to gain an invaluable understanding of how your male partners, colleagues, associates and clients are likely to react to a host of situations—as well as the ability to correct common misperceptions. The Male Factor offers a unique road map to what men in the workplace are thinking, allowing women the opportunity to decide for themselves how to use the insights.
