From #MeToo to #WeToo

Men in leadership positions are under pressure like never before.

High-profile lawsuits have shocked us at the inappropriate actions of men who used their positions of power to take advantage of women. Meanwhile, while well-meaning HR and legal departments offer directives about what can (or can’t) be said, they can create confusion and doubt for managers. And often, there are strong personal biases and opinions that still exist about what constitutes acceptable behavior with respect to gender roles.

From #MeToo to #WeToo tackles these difficult conditions with sensitivity and insight to help male leaders transform negative interactions, challenging workplace dynamics, and dysfunctional teams into an environment that is highly productive, collaborative, supportive, and respectful of everyone–regardless of gender.

This timely guide pinpoints exactly what men in leadership positions need to understand and do to effectively manage individuals and teams. When men and women better understand one other, both the leader and those who report to them will:

• Feel heard and supported to do the best job possible.
• Handle challenging situations more positively and constructively.
• Feel free to candidly discuss professional needs and wants.
• Improve overall communication skills, from group interactions to one-on-one meetings.

After decades of working with men and women at all levels of organizations, Sherry Welsh provides managers with highly actionable strategies for navigating the difficult landscape of leading with clarity, while empowering direct reports to take control of their professional lives. When people feel valued, the leader is positioned to coach and manage effectively, resulting in elevated levels of productivity, a greater return on investment, and successful attainment of individual and group goals.
