How Women and the Men Who Think Like Them Will Rule the Future

In her groundbreaking book, Sally Helgesen argues that the future belongs to women and the men who think like them. She bases this assertion on the fact that women have a number of inherent advantages over men in the workplace, including:

• Greater emotional intelligence. Women are generally better at reading and understanding emotions, both their own and others'. This gives them a significant advantage in building relationships, resolving conflict, and motivating others.
• Stronger communication skills. Women are typically more articulate and persuasive than men. They are also better at active listening, which helps them build rapport and gain trust.
• Greater empathy. Women are more likely to put themselves in others' shoes and see things from their perspective. This makes them more effective at resolving conflict, building consensus, and creating a positive work environment.
• Higher levels of collaboration. Women are more likely to work well with others and build strong teams. They are also more likely to share credit and give others recognition for their contributions.

Helgesen argues that these advantages are not simply a matter of biology. They are also the result of the way women are socialized. From a young age, girls are taught to be more emotionally expressive, communicative, and empathetic than boys. They are also encouraged to work together and collaborate with others.
