Beyond Bias:
The Path to End Gender
Inequality at Work

Order today:

Despite extensive and costly efforts to eliminate workplace gender inequality, little progress has been made in recent years. The problem is that these efforts have largely focused on training people to be less biased and more inclusive. But gender inequality is not primarily a problem caused by individuals’ biases; it is a systemic problem caused by the discriminatory operation of workplace systems, processes, and practices.

Beyond Bias presents a four-prong program—PATH—for directly attacking the systemic nature of this problem. In the authors’ characteristically clear and engaging style, they lay out a comprehensive set of practical and effective actions organizations can take to change their personnel management systems and remove the gendered obstacles that are holding women back; Beyond Bias points the way to what organizations can finally do to systematically remove gender inequality and make workplaces truly inclusive for everyone.

Timely, Powerful and Compelling

Beyond Bias is a timely, powerful, and compelling book. In it, Kramer and Harris provide a clear and do-able PATH to create a business climate where people feel trusted and appreciated; one where DE&I is more than hope - it becomes a reality.

Second Edition

Breaking Through Bias: Communication Techniques for Women to Succeed at Work

Order today:

Since Breaking Through Bias was published in 2016, the #MeToo movement has exposed just how pervasive sexual harassment is in the workplace. The increase in public misogynistic comments has made clear that explicit gender bias is not a thing of the past; and stay-at-home orders and school closings due to Covid-19 have brought into even sharper focus the discriminatory impact of the unequal division of child care and household responsibilities between most couples.

In this Second Edition of Breaking Through Bias, the authors, Kramer and Harris, explain how these recent developments fit into a larger pattern of implicit or unconscious gender bias that imposes serious obstacles to women’s career advancement. They argue persuasively, however, that while this bias is the result of deeply rooted gender stereotypes, women can avoid or overcome its discriminatory consequences by the effective use of “attuned gender communication” to manage the impressions other people have of them.

Kramer and Harris illustrate the use of attuned gender communication in each of the contexts in which gender bias manifests itself: negative bias (women are not as talented as men), benevolent bias (women need men’s support), age bias (older women are not effective workers), motherhood bias (women with children are not committed to their careers), and self-limiting bias (women believing themselves not suited for particular roles).

Drawing on decades of experience supervising, training, evaluating, mentoring, and sponsoring thousands of women as well as exhaustive social science research, Kramer and Harris present in this updated and fully revised Second Edition unique, practical, and highly effective advice women can use to break through bias and achieve the career success they desire and deserve.

Enthusiastically Recommended

The medical profession is no more free of gender bias than all other professions that make up our economy. From the early stages of training to achieving the attending physician status, bias exists at every level. Thus, I am enthusiastically recommending that women medical students, residents, and fellow colleagues read and re-read Breaking Through Bias.

Benevolent Sexism Is as Damaging as It Is Unintentional

According to spouses Kramer and Harris, ‘Women don’t need to be fixed,’ but society does, and quickly. The authors proceed to identify a serious advancement problem for women, who make up 45% of entry-level professionals but only 17% of C-suite executives. They blame this gap on the pervasiveness of gender stereotypes, which lead to a kind of ‘benevolent sexism’ that’s as damaging as it is unintentional. Kramer and Harris acknowledge that systemic change is important, but it takes time, which leaves current would-be executives in the dust. The authors discuss managing perceptions, being aware of body language, crafting communications, and using anger to its best effect … a well-organized, well-thought-out call to action…

A Wake-Up Call for Senior Business Leaders

Breaking Through Bias serves as a wake-up call for senior business leaders. The book explores common gender stereotypes and discusses the discriminatory bias that results. Based on my own work on culture change over the past five years, I am convinced that bias in the workplace is real. Things aren’t equal. I can’t allow myself to be satisfied with an environment where female employees have to expend energy combatting bias, so culture change is necessary – but it is slow work. This book offers insights and practical approaches to help women manage the environment as it exists. It is essential reading for modern business people of either gender.

It’s Not You, It’s the Workplace: Women’s Conflict at Work and the Bias that Built It

Order today:

Andie & Al are often asked about same-sex dynamics at work. Men’s relationships with one another are seen as the baseline. What does that mean for women? Is it inevitable that women’s relationships with one another become difficult—even disruptive to their careers?

It’s Not You, It’s the Workplace challenges those ideas with its real-world advice to women on ways to overcome conflict. Most importantly, the book shows how to build upon the many positive aspects of women-to-women relationships in order to foster women’s success. After all, the data is in: When women are truly satisfied in their professions, their organizations thrive. Andie & Al lay out how women, men, and their organizations can and should work together to create workplaces where successful careers are a reality for women.

Expanding on their decades of experience helping women succeed at work, Andie and Al use their combined—but distinctive—female and male perspectives to provide new and discerning viewpoints on the often-fraught scenarios of women working for, working with, supervising, and collaborating with other women. They examine each narrative in depth and provide practical, immediately usable techniques that will allow women to better develop strong networks that will foster their career success, men to help avoid or resolve women-to-women workplace conflicts, and organizations to structure their policies and practices so that bias does not block women’s career satisfaction and advancement to leadership.

Refreshing, Empowering, and Exactly What is Needed

I cannot tell you how many times this question has come up when I am in groups of women executives! It is great to see experts like Andie and Al get to an empirically-based answer and point to real actions. This book is refreshing, empowering, and exactly what is needed to help women successfully navigate their path to career success.

Andie and Al call bullsh^t on the negative narrative we’ve been fed about women’s same-gendered conflict in the workplace. After clearing the deck by systematically demonstrating that the evolutionary, socialization and internalized misogynistic “reasons” for this damaging narrative are false, Al and Andie get to work to show us all how we can make it better. A must read for every leader, every individual contributor, every woman, and every man in the workplace. Lee Caraher, CEO Double Forte and Author of The Boomerang Principle and Millennials & Management

This very thought-provoking and well-researched book is a must-read for any executive who truly strives to create a culture of meritocracy.

Great Insights and Practical Tips

Andie and Al’s insistence on the value of women's mutual support and advocacy--sisterhood--rang true to me. Too often we are told that women are naturally antagonistic to other women. Nonsense. This book is filled with great insights and practical tips for assuring women's workplace relationships with other women are positive and satisfying. This is a terrific book!"

Andie and Al Set the Record Straight

The belief that women inherently do not work well together is one of our workplaces most unhelpful narratives. Andie and Al tackle it head on and set the record straight with pragmatism and optimism. This book is perfect not only for women looking to achieve successful and fulfilling careers but for the men and organizations that benefit equally when the most talented leaders rise to the top.
