Book excerpt: Women in Tech, a Book for Guys is meant to trigger easy conversation around a difficult topic. What should men be doing to facilitate gender equality in tech? Many men would like to help but don't know how, or if their involvement would even be welcomed. Others think the diversity issue already has been solved, or that women need to act more like men for there to be equality.This book addresses men at different levels of equality awareness- represented by seven character prototypes. Based on interviews with sixty male leaders mostly from Silicon Valley, the book details actions men are taking to directly and indirectly support women in the workplace, and offers solutions to challenging gender-related problems. If you are a man in tech wanting to make more of a difference for women, or if you're an HR person, consultant, or executive needing tools to help men increase their gender-issue awareness, this book was meant for you.
