Synopsis

Women make up almost half of today's labor force, but in corporate America they don't share half of the power. A major reason for this? Most women were never taught how to play the game of business.

Throughout her career in the super-competitive, male-dominated media industry, Gail Evans, one of the country's most powerful executives, has met innumerable women who tell her that they feel lost in the workplace, almost as if they were playing a game without knowing the directions. In this book, she reveals the secrets to the playbook of success and teaches women at all levels of the organization—from assistant to vice president—how to play the game of business to their advantage.

Men know the rules because they wrote them, but women often feel shut out of the process because they don't know when to speak up, when to ask for responsibility, what to say at an interview, and a lot of other key moves that can make or break a career. Sharing with humor and candor her years of lessons from corporate life, Gail Evans gives listeners practical tools for making the right decisions at work.

I like this book because it doesn't support Women Emancipation. I am AGAINST women emancipation. Why? because it clearly shows women's weakness. I think that if a woman wants to reach the top of the mountain, she should work hard for it. Not just "beg a position for the sake of diversity". You want......more

One of my all-time faves. Finally, the definitive book for ANYONE, male or female, who is trying to understand “He Speak/She Speak.” A career woman who took several years off to raise three children and went on to become executive vice president at CNN, author Gail Evans has demonstrated that she kn......more

Goodreads review by Bethany

Absolutely fascinating. Being a woman and accepting the role of a victim in the workforce can be extremely detrimental to her career and happiness. “The first step to being successful is convincing yourself you are successful” The chapter on building relationships was also a point that I really needed......more
