Kirk Snyder’s The G Quotient, is based on a five-year study into the beliefs and behaviors of more than three-thousand working professionals across major economic sectors. Over the last ten years, across-the-board levels of employee engagement, job satisfaction and workplace morale have plummeted in the United States. While most in Corporate America are baffled by this decline, Snyder undertook a long-range research project that has uncovered a unique exception to this trend in employee dissatisfaction.
The result is the identification of a new paradigm for successful business leadership—The G Quotient—that is generating thirty-five percent higher levels of employee engagement, job satisfaction, and workplace morale from Fortune 500 companies to entrepreneurial enterprises in all types of field and industries.

Snyder explains in The G Quotient why employees of white-collar gay executives are responding to a new ethos of business leadership with record high levels of job commitment. Whether managing teams of a few or a few thousand, The G Quotient provides all managers with vital information and insight about fully engaging the strengths and talents of today’s workforce.
