The power of gender difference, not gender equality, is a secret source for success. Some smart businesses are starting to wake up to this fact. This book explores why and how.
Properly valuing brain gender diversity in the workplace is one of the biggest and largely untapped sources of competitive advantage for modern businesses. Recent advances in neuroscience provide the key to unlocking it.
Modern research shows that there are gender-based differences in the brain – it’s just not as simple as a binary between a ‘male brain’ and ‘female brain’. In fact, our brains are like a mosaic where many of the tiles are available in thousands of shades on a spectrum between pink and blue. The problem is that our workplaces tend to be governed by structures, processes and cultures that are practically pure blue. All the brains in the business that are elsewhere on the spectrum cannot thrive as they might, so sources of productivity, creativity and agility go untapped.
Leading applied neuroscientists and international corporate coaches Kate Lanz and Paul Brown show you why and how to access all the brains in your business.

“We desperately need rapid innovation to survive into the next millennium. In this ground breaking work Lanz and Brown take great strides towards a deep understanding of creative performance based on applied neuroscience. Melding the diversity of all the brains available to achieve the highest performance possible is the greatest current challenge in leadership.” (Professor Nicholas Harrison, PhD, FRSC, Co-Director Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering, Imperial College London)
“Christine Lagarde said it in 2014 ‘… we will need all the economic growth, dynamism and ingenuity we can get in the years ahead. Thankfully, a key part of the solution is staring us right in the face—unleashing the-economic power of women …’. The need to release the power of women - and men – in the workplace has been acknowledged for decades, but the why and how have escaped us – until now. In this book, Lanz and Brown offer practical analyses and solutions based on hard science. Essential reading for anyone who wants to harness the energy and creativity of all the people in an organisation.” (Lady Kitty Chisholm, COO Boardwalk Leadership, D&I champion, Keynote Speaker on Neuroscience and Leadership, Award Winning Author)
