Publisher's summary

Work With Me is the timely collaboration of two of the world's foremost authorities on gender relations. Barbara Annis, world-renowned expert on gender issues in the workplace, and John Gray, author of the number-one relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, team up to resolve the most stressful and confusing challenges facing men and women at work. Annis and Gray reveal, for the first time, survey results of over 100,000 in-depth interviews of men and women executives in over 60 Fortune 500 companies.

Listeners will discover the Eight Gender Blind Spots, the false assumptions and opinions men and women have of each other, and in many ways, believe of themselves. Through research, science, and stories, Annis and Gray expose the blind spots that cause our misunderstandings, miscommunications, mistrust, resentment, and frustrations at work. Listeners will discover the biology and social influences that compel men and women to think and act as they do, and direct how they communicate, solve problems, make decisions, resolve conflict, lead others, and deal with stress, enabling them to achieve greater success and satisfaction in their professional and personal lives.

Work With Me is the definitive work-life relational guide, filled with "ah-ha!" moments and discoveries that will remove the blind spots and enable men and women to work and succeed together.

I prefer "Women Are From Venus, Men Are Mars"

I think "Women Are From Venus, Men Are From Mars" is a better book in understanding differences in communication styles between men and women and provides useful techniques. "Work With Me" contained huge sweeping stereotypes, like offering help to a man suggests that you think he's incapable of doing it himself. I think plenty of men and women are willing to accept help. The book provided some interesting perspective on dialogs -- she says "Have we considered the impact?", what she means "This could be a problem that we're ignoring." However, it didn't provide that much information in improving communication.

Can everyone working in America please read this book?

I have a keynote about ‘leading like a woman’. In researching and updating my content, I have read many books and articles about men and women working together. This one book, I will listen to again. I feel it is one of the best books written to help us not only understand our differences but also to be better able to work with each other. A definite must read for everyone working with the opposite sex today.

Great perspectives for working men and women

I work in a male dominated industry and many if the misunderstandings and conflicts I've faced were explained here. It proved a great tool for broadening my perspectives to include various ways men might think, act, and be motivated in the work place. A few of the comments about women were mushy and defended behaviors that don't be long in the corporate environment in my opinion but over all it was an excellent book. I learned a lot and have a new perspective on how our differences as men and women can lead to great success.

my opinion

much of the information on the different ways men and women think is not new. this book did present a more modern set of example behaviors and was mostly directed toward the work place, as expected because of the title. in the beginning it really seemed to put men down but as it progressed the writing started to have a more neutral approach to discussing the behavior of men. I did find the behavior examples a little closer to older men and not so much Gen x or y, and titled toward men in leadership positions. all in, it was a good listen and provided plenty of examples of how men and women can consider each others brain biology to develop better relationships in the work place.
