Ivan Misner, the Founder of BNI, together with two associates, Hazel Walker and Frank De Raffele, are currently conducting some research for a book on the difference between men and women when networking.
Ivan says, "Sex is about how your body is put together. Gender is about the role you engage in daily. Male and female brains are hardwired differently. According to some experts, the male tends to be about taking action as related to goals (called instrumental functions by the scholars) and the female for the talking or for nurture that is related to relationships (called agency or interpersonal functions). Studies in 39 different countries highlight these differences.
"Well, we want to see if this is true and how it plays out relating to the way that men and women network."
Please take a few minutes to help Ivan and his colleagues out. So far, 5,000 people who have already answered their survey on this subject.
Take the networking gender survey here.
