“For 20 years of my career I didn’t experience the gender diversity issue. And then I saw it. And once I had seen it, I saw it everywhere.”
WHY MEN WIN AT WORK
(LES FEMMES TRAVAILLENT, LES HOMMES TRIOMPHENT)
Why are men still winning at work? If women have equal leadership ability, why are they so under-represented at the top in business and society? Why are we still living in a world where virtually all the top jobs are occupied by men? And why do we accept it?
In her debut book Why Men Win At Work, Gill looks beyond the facts and figures on gender inequality and uncovers the invisible, unconscious and unintended barriers that sabotage us in the workplace and limit our shared success. Addressing both men and women, she sets out the psychology of gender diversity from the perspective of her personal experience and shares her powerful insights & workable advice on how to tackle the gender inequality issue.
Updated paperback version with a new Foreword by Andy Burnham and a new Chapter - ‘Winning at work after Covid’.
