the book had some pretty helpful tips but a lot of it was just common sense. nothing really stood out as different or great ideas. the little side stories were pretty interesting.

The Domme in me says, there is nothing wrong with being a bitch. It's Ms. Bitch to you. The guide is okay. I debated whether to give it a 2.5 which would be a 2 or put it as a 3. I ended up as a 3 because I enjoyed the stories. The suggestions are nice. I would recommend this to females just starting in the business world.

Great ideas, practical advice from women who've been there.

This book rules! It outlines how women manage differently than men and how to weed out our emotions and confront problems without being afraid.

Excellent. Great for business and life in general. Excellent if you are trying to get ahead.

I had to reread this book, as it had been a while since I'd seen it. While many of the skills and tips in this book are good advice for either gender in the workplace, the authors (who run their own public relations company, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver among their clients) include some information of specific relevance to women. For example, they remind women that being the boss means that you can't be "buddies" anymore with everyone, and that at times it's not personal but indeed just business. They also remind women that you have to own your power as a boss--don't be afraid to "be the boss," as your employees are counting on you to speak and act decisively. They give equal time to being the boss at a company versus being the boss at your own company, and they provide some great info on hiring and firing. Most importantly, they emphasize how important communication is when you're the boss and how important it is that you take each employee as they are; understand that some employees may need more guidance than others or flexible hours, or whatever, and when you meet them halfway you can get great work out of them. However, I'm witholding a star because I think some of their attitudes on "put in your time" and "you should never blog or have an office romance" a little misguided/outdated. If I avoided office romances, I wouldn't be married.

This was a pretty good book. I loved the insights it gave from other female managers, CEOs and other senior executives.
Puts in perspective what I do everyday and how I can affect the lives of my employees.

Book from the shelves, quick-ish read, solid advice and perspectives. Not a fan of the reliance on the whole girl thing but ignoring that I think it's useful on several levels and I made notes should I ever return to the workforce ...

I wanted to love it but I just found it to be contradictory. Many reminders of good habits but then ruin the point by basically saying the opposite in the next chapter. Maybe it’s just the way I was reading between the lines, but I couldn’t get past it.

A lot of well-articulated reminders and tips in this book. However, the section about dress and grooming was excessive and antiquated.

Fairly common-sense, but still helpful/interesting.

Aika paljon itsestäänselvyyksiä mutta myös hyviä pointteja sekä paljon käytännön esimerkkejä. Vähän alkaa olla jo vanha kirja joten sen vuoksi osa tekstistä ei tuntunut ajankohtaiselta ja tämän lisäksi en pystynyt samaistumaan moniin kohtiin. Kannatti kuitenkin lukea.
