Synopsis
While there is much women enjoy about working with one another, problems such as jealousy, destructive gossip, back-biting, and sabotage can do arise. After surveying over 500 women, Carolyn Duff and Barbara Cohen found that the very attributes that give us advantages at work--caring, compassion, and cooperation--can cause these difficulties. The virtue of caring, for example, may set us up for problems evaluating coworkers, and inhibit us from seeking advancement for fear of alienating work friends. And our desire to cooperate may make it difficult to take charge and make decisions. <i>When Women Work Together</i> identifies the factors that both enhance and threaten good workplace relations between women. In a supportive and helpful manner, it demonstrates step-by-step, through stories, exercises, and practical suggestions, exactly how to make work not only productive, but personally satisfying.

Review
"The unique strengths and challenges of women in the workplace provide the focus for this book. Duff, president of a consulting service for women, surveyed over 500 women and conducted 100 in-depth interviews to investigate women's attitudes toward and relationships with their female coworkers. Duff discovered attributes unique to women: connection, caring, and cooperation. She also identified ways in which these qualities can adversely affect career advancement for women. Case studies, quizzes, and suggestion lists aid women in finding ways to work constructively with one another. An interesting, helpful book for women who value career and relationships." --Nancy Myers, Univ. of South Dakota Lib., Vermillion, Publisher's Weekly, Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.--Reviews
