This groundbreaking study reveals the vital perspective women bring to businessand how to make sure your organization takes full advantage of it.

Women and men experience the world differently. They not only see things differentlythey also see different things. Men tend to have a bottom line, linear way of thinking. Women are more empathetic, more aware of the critical impact of interpersonal factors both within and without the organization. Everyone knows that both perspectives are important, yet organizations only reward traditionally male points of view.

Drawing on extensive research and workplace experience, Sally Helgesen and Julie Johnson demonstrate that the female perspective is the underutilized asset so many companies need to succeed. They delve into the stories of women whose vision improved their companieseven as they had to struggle against unresponsive organizations, dismissive managers, and their own personal fears.

The Female Vision also show how companies can create environments that welcome and encourage women to share what they notice, to the benefit of the organization as a wholeincluding the bottom line.

FOREWORD

Marshall Goldsmith

I decided it just wasnt worth it.

Too many gifted women have used this phrase to describe why they departed from major corporations and passed up seemingly spectacular career opportunities, leaving positions that may have seemed glamorous to the outside observer but that felt personally depleting to them. I hope the wisdom and insights the authors share in The Female Vision will change that situation by giving organizations a way to draw more fully on what women see.

The Female Vision draws on the latest research (comparing womens and mens perceptions) to illustrate why what women and men see can be so different. It presents myriad examples from todays challenging workplace to illustrate why these differences matter and how womens vision can make a signifi-cant, positive difference in the workplace.
