For Women Only in the Workplace by Shaunti Feldhahn is an in-depth, statistics laden look at how men and women relate at work. There are so many points that Mrs. Feldhahn brings out, so many differences in how men and women look at work differently. For instance, men think in boxes which they can conveniently close so they can work out of another box. Whereas women tend to think out of several boxes at the same time. These differences can cause strain on the working relationship. Men are able to open the "work" box after having closed the "personal" box and be all business. They take nothing personally, or rather their personal relationships are generally not affected by their work relationships. Which is why, according to Mrs. Feldhahn, men can have a problem working with someone but then can go out and play golf with the same person (not happening with us women)! However, and this is pretty big, we women do not separate our lives. What happens in one box can be tossed into another, so that what happens at work gets carried over into our personal life and vice versa.
You will not find For Women Only in the Workplace to be an easy, quick read. But it is filled with statistics and first hand examples from the man's point of view, all geared to let women know why men act as they do and what they think when we women act as we do. I must admit that my flaws were pointed out to me numerous times while reading this book (take a sneak peek at For Women Only in the Workplace), and there are things I found I can change in my own work life. If you want to know what's going on in the work world, what you might be doing "wrong" according to men and how to correct it, I would recommend this book.
