  Why don't men and women make the most of working together? Misunderstandings, bafflements, a sense of exclusion, anxiety and discomfort in working relationships often frustrate individual careers and business opportunities - and block job satisfaction. With more women than ever joining the workforce over the next ten years, what can be done to transform this unhealthy tension into a source of creativity? This book examines gender in the workplace and argues for a pooling of complementary styles. Women must learn to dare more and take risks. Men must go further than simply admitting they have feelings, and learn to share and use them. By challenging stereotyped behaviour, prejudices and assumptions, the author points the way forward to greater co-operation and a working environment in which people get better value from each other. This book about work and business shows that women and men can create a workplace where being different produces not fear and suspicion, but enjoyment and productivity.
