About this audiobook

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.

    This was an interesting and insightful book about the many differences between men and women in the workplace. It had practical tips for how a woman needs to operate in a professional setting. A great book for women in management and above roles.

    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 knows how to leverage power in the workplace. Evans readily admits that the rules of business are men's rules. But contrary to many people's belief, they weren't developed to keep women out. Rather, they were developed at a time when few women were around to give input. “Men wrote all the rules,” she says,” because they wrote alone.” This refreshing book removes women's workplace issues from the realm of politics, and places it where it belongs: in the realm of communication. Stripped of emotional charge, these issues quickly shrink to manageable size. The book then offers practical advice in dealing with them confidently. I'm serious when I say that this is the book I was searching for for about 10 years. If you are a woman, I virtually GUARANTEE you will get new insight on challenges you currently face, have faced in the past, or will face in the future--in and out of work. If you're a man, I virtually guarantee that some of the most baffling things women do will begin to make sense to you! Can't recommend it highly enough. Do check it out.
