employs different speech patterns. When careers and paychecks are on the line, clear communication is crucial-from the mailroom to the boardroom.

Included are: How men and women manage conversation, and the value of "chitchat" prior to a meeting. How men use language to impart information and women use language to build or indicate relationship. How men use e-mail to emphasize control while women use it to share and build rapport. How women can use language to build their credibility. How humor is used as a power play, to build territory, or to exclude others. How gender talk creates and shapes work relationships.
