New Rules of the Game:10 Strategies for Women in the Workplace

Author(s): Susan Packard

Business

In the workplace women have typically been encouraged to cultivate soft, feminine behaviours. But it's time for this to change. In New Rules of the Game, Packard shows women how to start playing men at their own game - and play to win. Good gamesmanship includes encouraging other women to compete outwardly instead of inwardly, cultivating the emotional distance necessary to succeed at work and understanding and replicating how male colleagues think. Her ideas are fleshed out with insightful anecdotes from her own 30 years in business.
