Customer Reviews

relevant, smart & fast read

Loved the format! It's easy to read. You can just flip through the pages and pick up a lot of useful, relevant info. I'm not a "self-help book" person, but make the exception with this one. If you are new to any leadership challenge, it's worth reading. By the way, don't let the by-line fool you....it is a leadership book.

Required Reading

This books is a must for new and middle-level women managers. For the newbies, it provides insight into the dynamics of challenges women face in the workplace. For middle-level managers, it is a reminder of the things you forgot (or didn't know in the first place) and helpful in breaking bad habits you initially picked up in your early years. As a former HR Exec, I would provide the book during company orientation to women who are entering management.

Great info and easy to read

If you are an ambitious woman in the financial industry, you'll find this book useful. Even if you are short on time, just flip through the pages, read the "Jumpstarters", then check out the lists at the end of each chapter. I learned a lot in less than an hour.
