The Girl's Guide to Being a Boss: Valuable Lessons and Smart Suggestions for Making the Most of Managing
Author(s): Caitlin Friedman
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.
