Chapter Ten "Business Women And Men Are Different"

I am going to tell you a few main points on chapter 10 because my class has already read this chapter of my book. This chapter is pretty much how in this day men and women are more equal in the work force. The main thing is that men and women work in different ways. for example communication, men think that asking questions is a sign of weakness or failure. Women ask questions. And money is also a difference." Men definitely keep score with money, salary is key and your net worth is how you keep score". For women, salary inequity is the issue. With all advantages for women in the past generation, the gender gap in salaries has not disappeared. Men earn about 25 percent more than women.
I learned that if women are going to rise to the top, that we need to build communities of other high-achieving women and learn to ask for help from one another. Building these can help women learn to help each other. We can also get rid of some of the jealousy and stereotypes that have been part of the previous paths of successful women.
