MARS AND VENUS IN THE WORKPLACE

Gray returns to his seminal work on human communication, MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS, to show how an understanding of those same ideas can improve communication and productivity in the business world. The gender diversity of today's workplace makes this essential because the old rules, after all, were created on Mars. They need to be radically adapted for a workforce and marketplace made up in large part of Venusians. Gray gives numerous ideas, guidelines, and examples to show how these changes can be accomplished. George Guidall reads with energy and a sense of urgency that match Gray's own, yet he does so with an easy grace that doesn't force the argument. This book is intended to give advice, and, sensitive to this, Guidall tries to be as balanced and unobtrusive as possible. As such, it is a useful business tool. P.E.F.
