A startling and confidential exploration of what men privately think about the words and actions of women in the workplace, based on nationwide surveys and confidential interviews with more than 3,000 men, ranging from corporate CEOs to factory workers.

Book: The Male Factor
Author: Shaunti Feldhahn

Summary:
Many talented women today risk undermining their careers without realizing it, simply because they don’t understand how they are perceived by their male colleagues and customers. In The Male Factor, best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn reveals the inner reality behind men’s views — the unspoken expectations that no man would dare to publicly acknowledge, and no woman would learn from an HR department. These revelations include:

• Men’s unwritten ‘rules’ of the workplace

• How men perceive workplace emotion

• What common situations with female colleagues most frustrate men-- and why

• Why revealing clothing can sabotage a woman’s effectiveness

• Why some men think flextime is fine, but equal compensation for it is not

The Male Factor equips women with the information they need to make informed decisions and compete on a level playing field.

MY TAKE:

I must be honest...I did not get this book entirely read. But...what I did read was very intriguing to say the least. I no longer work outside the home...but I can remember working in professional places and dealing with men...and women...but this book is about men...soooo...I would recommend it to any woman out there that wants to understand men a little bit better that they work with. Happy reading!!!
