Description: Millions of women gained eye-opening insights about the inner lives of men through Shaunti Feldhahn's best-selling For Women Only. Now, Feldhahn brings her innovative research approach to the workplace to help women understand their male colleagues. Using a nationwide survey and confidential interviews with thousands of men whose anonymity was guaranteed, she gets inside the hearts and minds of men in the workplace--from CEOs to nonprofit managers, from lawyers to factory workers--to discover what they commonly think about women on the job, and what their expected "rules" of the workplace are. This expanded edition includes faith-based insights throughout, plus an added chapter with supportive application and wisdom from senior Christian women in the workplace.--From publisher description.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [301]-304) and index.
