THE SEXES

Barbara Annis; and Keynote
(available August 2008) by Michael Gurian. For more about the

"Finally, a scientific explanation
of why men and women behave differently in the workplace, and practical
advice for leveraging these differences to improve business
performance. LEADERSHIP AND THE SEXES makes a sound
case for redefining our notions of what it takes to be a successful
executive – companies seeking to retain top talent would be wise to pay
close attention to this book."

"LEADERSHIP
AND THE SEXES is an exciting new book by gender team Michael Gurian and
Barbara Annis. It offers critical insight into the minefield of gender
relationships in the workplace, and is a tool I have been missing.
Corporate America needs the knowledge this new book gives us. I
can’t wait to start implementing the authors’ ideas.
— Pernille Lopez, President of IKEA North America
Each of us enters the workplace
not only as
a human being, but as a woman or a man.
Each workday is a meeting of gender-different styles, modes of
operating, and leadership skills. The corporation that
utilizes
the
differences between men and women is the corporation that discovers
significant competitive advantage. The corporation that helps
both
genders understand each other has committed to maximum success.
This new keynote, like the new
book,
provides leading edge gender-brain research in a humorous, highly
accessible presentation.
Its practical application focuses on executive and managerial
leadership, then extends to all levels of workplace
operation.
Through
the use of DVD, lecture, practical tools, anecdotes, and interactive
discussion, leadership and workplace issues are understood at points of
connection between how women and men think.
New York Times bestselling author
Michael
Gurian (Leading Partners) is a pioneer in the field of gender science.
In his presentations, Michael always provides a balanced,
gender-positive approach. At the end of this presentation,
both
women
and men feel enlightened by male/female brain difference.
Four
Special Features in this Presentation:

technology and tools from new brain sciences.

*Success
Data from Fortune 500 corporations.

Touche, and many others, where brain-based gender trainings have led to
millions of dollars of increased bottom line.
*Implications
for the Home Front.
Michael weaves relationship and parenting issues into this leadership
presentation whenever requested, since male/female brain differences
impact not only corporate leadership, but important aspects of
relationships, partnerships, marriages, and the raising of boys and
girls.
This powerful and timely book unlocks gender truths for the workplace. Every business--man or woman--needs to read this book!

Brizendine, M.D., Neuropsychiatrist and Clinical Professor, University

"Much
of what we have learned thus far about marketing to and leading men and
women is based on observing cultural influences. LEADERSHIP AND
THE SEXES brings a scientific basis that simply takes everyone's
understanding to a whole new level. The opportunity this
understanding brings to be more effective is a competitive advantage
both in and outside our company."
— Jim Weber, President and CEO, Brooks Sports
¤
"LEADERSHIP

Development Kit that can be used by corporations to improve gender
dynamics. Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis provide a scientific
approach that breaks down traditional barriers and enables management
to implement gender based leadership rationally. This is an
exciting book!

LEADERSHIP
AND THE SEXES is NOT just for the corporate world. I kept writing
reminders in the margins to share this or that insight or training
module with the peacemakers and policy advocates with whom we work
nationally and around the world. Gurian and Annis share an astonishing
story about the $190 million annual savings in reduced turnover
realized (at least in part) by working to recognize, understand, and
take advantage of the brain differences between genders. Imagine
the bottom line benefit of this same training for peace negotiators,
national leaders of pivotal social movements, philanthropists, and
academicians - all seeking to make a difference in our world. This
practical, science-based, engaging book will, of course, also be
referred to time and again by our HR department!

LEADERSHIP AND THE SEXES is a great book!!! Michael Gurian and Barbara
Annis have captured the insights and science that explain so much about
our gender differences. Their book is a priceless contribution to
the business world, as we learn how best to capitalize on the strengths
of both sexes. It offers compelling scientific reasons for
bringing us all to the table in equal, unique and shared roles. I
thank the authors for making sense out of a topic that others often
cloud with political correctness….this book is right on target.
— Flip Flippen, President of the Flippen Group,
and bestselling author of THE FLIP SIDE

"LEADERSHIP AND THE SEXES is
an important work and Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis are perfect to
write it. Filled with practical, accessible information, this

women at work or leading in our communities or families."

AND THE SEXES is extremely valuable in two ways. Not only can
everyone recognize something of themselves in it, but its numerous
engaging examples of communication between women and men will help
people interpret communication in the workplace more effectively.

With his
bestsellers, The
Wonder of Boys and The
Wonder of Girls, therapist and social philosopher Michael
Gurian
presented a groundbreaking new approach to child development.
Now, in his new book, WHAT
COULD HE BE THINKING?: How a Man's Mind Really Works, Gurian
presents a new vision of the male/female relationships. Based
on
two decades of
neurobiological research, his latest book answers the questions women
have long been asking about
husbands, fathers, boyfriends, and co-workers. The answers in
WHAT
COULD HE BE THINKING? come not from popular opinion or social
trends, but from science. The new field of brain science helps us
understand men and women in provocative and helpful ways, ways that
change
our understanding of leadership, relationships, and the corporate
workplace.
