Praise for The Male
Factor
“The Male Factor is the singularly best business
book for women I’ve read in years. This well-researched yet
thoroughly readable book is rich with rare insights into how men
really see women in the workplace — and how with a few simple
adjustments you can even the playing field.”
–Lois P. Frankel, Ph.D., author of Nice Girls Don’t Get the
Corner Office and See Jane Lead
“Many times in my career I’ve been the only female in a meeting or
holding a seat on the executive team, and I felt I needed a
translator – either to understand my male colleagues or to make
sure they understood me. The Male Factor provides that
translation. We no longer have to guess at what “makes men tick” in
the workplace. Shaunti Feldhahn asked them, and amazingly, they
told her!”
–Stacie Hagan, Chief People Officer at Earthlink, Inc.
“Smart, effective communication is what makes for successful
leadership and productive workplaces. The Male Factor sheds
light on how subtle and not so subtle gender communication
differences can thwart a woman’s rise in the workplace. Even minor
shifts in communication approach can help women navigate and break
through that invisible barrier. There is something here for every
woman, no matter where you are in your career.”
— Linda Sawyer, CEO, Deutsch Inc.
more than three thousand men, bestselling author of For Women
Only, Shaunti Feldhahn, has written a startling and
unprecedented exploration of how men in the workplace tend to
think, which even the most astute women might otherwise miss. In
The Male Factor, Feldhahn investigates and quantifies the
private thoughts that men almost never publicly reveal or admit to,
but that every woman will want to know.
Never before has an author gotten inside the hearts and minds of
men in the workplace—from CEOs to managers, from lawyers to factory
workers—to get a comprehensive and confidential picture of what men
commonly think about their female colleagues, how they view
flextime and equal compensation, what their expected “rules” of the
workplace are, what managing emotion means, and how that lowcut top
is perceived. Because the men in the surveys and interviews were
guaranteed anonymity, they talk in a candid and uncensored way
about their daily interactions with women bosses, employees, and
colleagues, as well as what they see as the most common forces of
friction and misunderstanding between men and women at work.
Among the subjects The Male Factor tackles are:
? how men, with rare exception, view almost any emotional display
as a sign that the person can no longer think clearly—as well as
what they perceive to be “emotion” in the first place (it’s not
just crying)
? why certain trendy clothes that women wear may create a
career-sabotaging land mine in terms of how male colleagues
perceive them
? the unintentional signals that can change a man’s perception of a
woman from “assertive and competent” to “difficult”
Women will likely be surprised, even shocked, by these revelations.
Some may find them challenging. Yet what they will gain is an
invaluable understanding of how their male bosses, colleagues,
subordinates, and customers react to a host of situations—as well
as the ability to correct common misperceptions. The Male
Factor offers a unique road map to what men in the workplace
are thinking, allowing women the opportunity to decide for
themselves how to use the insights Feldhahn reveals.
