LEADERSHIP AND THE SEXES
 A
Keynote
with Michael
Gurian
Leadership
and
the Sexes: Using
Gender Science to Create Success in Business. A New Book
(Jossey-Bass/John Wiley, September, 2008) by Michael
Gurian, with
Barbara Annis; and Keynote (available August 2008) by Michael Gurian.
-----
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 itself 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

is a pioneer in the field of gender science. In his

approach. At the end of this presentation, both women and men
feel enlightened by male/female brain difference.

A
Keynote with Michael
Gurian
-----
This keynote
provides the newest brain research in a humorous, highly accessible

operation. Through the use of DVD, Video, Power Point,

points of connection between how women and men think. What is
taught in this presentation can solve current problems in a
corporate environment, and facilitate a stable and productive
environment in the future.
Michael
Gurian, a pioneer in the field of applied gender
neuro-biology,
provides a balanced, gender-positive approach. At the end of
this presentation, both women and men feel enlightened by male/female
difference. They are ready to utilize the distinct strengths
not only of human beings, of workers, managers, or CEO's-but of women

-----
At an
instinctual level, corporate culture has sensed the importance of
male/female difference
 training
for a long time. Simultaneously, we in
business tend to prefer science to art, and many of popular culture's
suggestions regarding women and men have felt more like artful opinion
than essential science. Fortunately, now, things
have changed. Corporate leaders now have access to secrets of
leadership from actual brain science. PET scans and MRI's of
men's and women's brains are useful training tools, easy to look at,
powerful and compelling. They provide access to the cutting
edge science which corporations need in order to harness the very
useful differences between women and men. They are useful in
amazing ways to today's leaders, both women and men. Each of us enters
the workplace not only as a human being, but as a woman or a
man. Each workday (like in every family) is a meeting of
gender-different styles, modes of operating, and leadership
skills. The corporation that utilizes the differences between
women and men is the corporation that discovers significant competitive
advantage. The corporation that helps its women and men
understand each other has committed itself to maximum success.
