This week's (5/24/10 to 5/30/10) Work Matters takes a look at how gender differences play out at work.

Like it or not, people tend to have assumptions about strengths and weaknesses of others based on gender differences. To what extent are these assumptions correct or incorrect? How do your biases make a difference in your own effectiveness in the workplace?

The show starts with the regular segment of Uncommon Sense where Nan and her colleague Beth Pelkofsky field listener questions.

Then Nan interviews this week's guest Alice Adams, vice president at Common Ground Consulting and the author of Playing to Strength: Leveraging Gender at Work. She talks about how you can find common ground and recognize others' strengths to bring out the best of a team.
