问题 People have been holding heated discussions recently about women’s experience in the workplace. Last month Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer at Face-book, published "Lean In", a【C1】______declaration on why women have not【C2】______to the most senior positions at companies. She concludes that it is partly women’s own【C3】______: they do not "lean in" and ask for promotions,【C4】______at meetings and insist on taking a seat at the table. Another new book will not have the same impact as "Lean In", but it offers some interesting new【C5】______on how women are coping at work, and what is holding them【C6】______.
Some of it is down to simple miscommunication. Barbara Annis and John Gray argue in "Work With Me" that men and women are biologically wired to think and react【C7】______to situations, and have "gender blind spots" when it comes to understanding their co-workers’ behavior. Ms Annis, who leads workshops on gender for big companies and governments, and Mr. Gray, author of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus", have【C8】______to produce an easy-to-read guide to work place communications. Women ask more questions,【C9】______more people’s opinions and seek collaboration with coworkers more frequently than men. Men view these preferences as【C10】______of weakness, and women, in turn, grow【C11】______by how competitively men work, and how quickly they arrive【C12】______conclusions by themselves.
【C13】______both female and male employees became more "gender【C14】______" about how their work and behavioral preferences are hard-wired, it would contribute to a more harmonious workforce. Women have been choosing to leave companies at twice the【C15】______of men, and more than half the women whom the authors met in workshops were considering leaving their【C16】______. Women often tell their bosses that they are【C17】______for personal reasons, but the majority actually leave because they feel【C18】______teams and not valued for their contributions. Yet the【C19】______is that women often have trouble communicating with other women at work as well,【C20】______the authors do not explain in quite as much detail why this is so.
