The document summarizes research showing that increasing gender diversity, especially having more women, on company boards and in work groups leads to improved financial and problem-solving outcomes. It discusses how men and women tend to have different "mindsets" - men being more individualistic and women more relational/collaborative. Having both of these approaches represented contributes to greater "collective intelligence". The document then explores how understanding differences in communication and decision-making styles between men and women can help build more effective partnerships at work.
