Women face the glass ceiling day in and day out. Why is this a never ending battle? A Women¿s Ladder to Success Is Paved With Broken Glass Ceilings!: A Leadership Fable by Diane Dutton, CPA, CEO, CFO, gives the reader keen insights into why the glass ceiling continues to stymie women¿s career goals. Our fable guide through the material, Jesse Stevens, shows lessons she learned throughout her career. With over 26 years of life and business lessons, successes from CFO to CEO, from author to lecturer, Jesse has a story to tell. Using lessons she has learned through her career, she shows women how to work from fact, not emotion, and how to step ahead to that image of success. Jesse begins by studying the boys vs. girls¿ theories, then moves on to how each management quality and management core value can be used to enhance the reader¿s career. Jesse offers a self-test to give readers a snapshot of their current status and wraps up with Eight Business Fallacies that all executives, man or woman, need to know. Women possess real power and Jesse¿s job is to get them to use it!

I wish this book had been available when I was entering the business world over 25 years ago! Diane Dutton has written an honest and enlightening book about her journey to success. Any young woman just starting her career needs to read this book. Those of us who have been in the work place for a while will gain fresh insight and perhaps consider new goals. Funny, charming, and straightforward. I loved this book!

Breaking Glass Ceilings,
By
This review is from: A Woman's Ladder to Success Is Paved with Broken Glass Ceilings (Paperback)
This book should be in every female executive's briefcase. Using the fable structure, the author introduces us to Jesse Stevens, the fable's guide. Through Jesse, the author gives us shrewd insights into the world of the female executive and how she can break glass ceilings in business. In reality, the author has analyzed her own experiences with glass ceilings, and they translate very well to the page. Touching on everything from how to conduct yourself with colleagues (male and female), motivations, management values and strategies, wardrobe, to when to move on, Diane Dutton has written a winner.

Diane Dutton has crafted a wonderful book specifically for women on how to climb that ladder of success and break through the proverbial glass ceiling....well, it used to be a "proverbial" glass ceiling... Now the glass ceiling is fact! Read about Diane's comments on the US Federal Glass Ceiling Commission! Seriously! This book is a great read and highly recommended.
