Talking from Nine to Five

In 'Talking from Nine to Five', Deborah Tannen examines the differing conversational styles of women and men at work and how these differences influence who gets heard, who receives credit, and what gets accomplished.

Drawing on extensive research including transcriptions of workplace conversations, Tannen reveals how mismatched communication styles can lead to misunderstandings and affect professional dynamics.

The book offers insights into topics such as apologies, indirectness, authority, status, and speaking in meetings, encouraging awareness and flexibility in communication to improve workplace interactions and success.
