Review
'These girls are the perfect people to write about management because they have been telling me what to do for years!' Jamie Oliver 'The Girl's Guide lays out what women in power need to do in order to be firm, fair and, above all, successful.' Newsweek 'Very "Sex and the City" - fun, easy-to-read and a little wry. [The authors'] breezy confidence, thorough research and amusing anecdotes make this an enjoyable read.' Management Today

Top 5 Reasons to Buy The Girl's Guide to Being a Boss by Caitlin Friedman & Kimberly Yorio
1. You just got promoted.
Yikes! Nobody ever taught you to be a manager. Your role models have been less than fabulous and you want to be better. We teach you how to be more mentor than manager. We show you how to be firm but fair. Armed with our book, you will learn how to get the best out of your employees.
2. Most management books put you to sleep.
No jargon and no need for an MBA. The Girl's Guide to Being a Boss is a fun read that offers information without intimidation and includes all the advice you need to learn to lead, inspire and motivate. We include quizzes, tips, checklists and fun sidebars such as "Celluloid Bitches," and "The Girl’s Guide to Gossip" throughout.
3. Your manager is crazy.
You're not alone. In our "Good Witch/Big Bitch" boxes we share both the horrible and the heroic--stories from women from around the country who have seen it all and learned their lessons.
4. You're not a manager...yet!
Unlike most management books we speak to both leaders and the led. We offer tips and suggestions for dealing with issues such as micromanagement, taking credit for ideas, managing up to get the promotion, office politics and taking responsibility for mistakes.
5. Don't take just our word for it....
Good management is a life-long pursuit. We'd be foolish to believe we know it all, so to help us fill in the blanks we got on the phone with women from all over the country. We include interviews with coaches, human resource directors, other writers, supervisors, the supervised, mediators, and social workers to get their take on the challenges and opportunities of being the chick-in-charge.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Accessible, fun, but very effective, this book sets out to help women sail through a host of work-based challenges, including coping as a new manager, gaining leadership skills, building and motivating a team and learning how to delegate. It also offers advice on how to avoid common office politics nightmares such as alienating your staff, being taken advantage of and dealing with fraught working relationships. Being a good boss is a challenge for everyone, but women often have extra hurdles to overcome; often, how they are perceived is used as much as a yardstick as how well they perform. This book helps them face those challenges with the confidence needed to succeed. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003337221
