Max,
It’s so refreshing to see a man’s perspective on the issues of influence, leadership and gender bias. Your inclusive and non-judgmental approach is much appreciated. I agree that stereotypes prevail and that both genders have the potential to be negatively affected, depending on the context of the critique.  I’m intrigued by the word “holistic” as it applies to the US way of doing business. Going to have to noodle on that one. . .
