Talking from 9 to 5: Women and Men at Work
Deborah Tannen
Tannen describes differences in men's and women's public communication as found within the business setting. These differences appear to influence actual perceptions of worker skills and abilities.

However, women who learn to speak like men are accused of being aggressive.

Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss what Matters Most
Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, Sheila Heen
We've all been there: We know we must confront a coworker, store clerk, or friend about some especially sticky situation--and we know the encounter will be uncomfortable. So we repeatedly mull it over until we can no longer put it off, and then finally stumble through the confrontation. Difficult Conversations, by Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, and Sheila Heen, offers advice for handling these unpleasant exchanges in a manner that accomplishes their objective and diminishes the possibility that anyone will be needlessly hurt.
