Based on a nationwide survey and confidential interviews
with 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.
