Featuring "Harvard Business Review" case studies, es says by leading analysts and stories from successful women managers, these 12 "HBR" articles provide an overview of the issues facing women at work. This work should be useful for managers trying to understand the dynamics of gender in the organization, as well as for women making their way up the corporate ladder.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Rich in fact, theory and opinion, this collection of Harvard Business Review articles assembled by Nichols, an editor of the journal, is singularly enlightening on the state of women in the workplace. Complaints about discrimination, sexual harassment, not being taken seriously, etc. take a back seat here to accounts of highly motivated women who tell their own inspiring stories. One overcame poverty to become a bank president; another, after her father's fatal heart attack, revolutionized the cardiovascular diagnostic process with the products of her medical technology firm. Women are developing their own share of American business, we learn, with statistics already showing 30% female ownership.
