Praise for Leadership and the Sexes
"Leadership and the Sexes is an exciting new book by gender team Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis.

I can′t wait to start implementing the authors′ ideas."
—Pernille Lopez, president, IKEA North America
"Leadership and the Sexes is researchbased and very readerfriendly, a Gender Development Kit that can be used by corporations to improve gender dynamics. Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis provide a scientific approach that breaks down traditional barriers and enables management to implement gender–based leadership rationally. This is an exciting book!"
—Dave Roth, former vice president of engineering, Packet Engines andVivato Systems
"Leadership and the Sexes is a great book! Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis have captured the insights and science that explain so much about our gender differences. Their book is a priceless contribution to the business world, as we learn how best to capitalize on the strengths of both sexes. It offers compelling scientific reasons for bringing us all to the table in equal, unique, and shared roles. I thank the authors for making sense out of a topic that others often cloud with political correctness . . . this book is right on target."
—Flip Flippen, president, the Flippen Group; bestselling author, The Flip Side
"Leadership and the Sexes is an important work and Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis are perfect to write it. Filled with practical, accessible information, this is a book that all of us need to read, whether we deal with men and women at work or (with those who lead) in our communities or families."
