A few interesting things but I probably should have borrowed it from the library instead of buying it.

Just started it, but, I am learning things I already knew :)

well written, great examples from famous female bosses and great positive advice on working with people when you are in a leadership role.

This should be compulsory reading for every female who is a boss - "Congratulations on your promotion and here's a book to read before you do anything !". Warns women against being control freaks and the pitfalls of micromanaging.Lots of sensible advice about managing.

This book made a few interesting points, but it was a bit too "fluffy" to have much insight.

A good read. Entertaining and educational. Lots of great references.

60% common sense
40% hum

Very dated and US focused but an interesting read nevertheless. Some bits gave me a good giggle like the chapter on gossip towards the end while others were more thought provoking...

I enjoyed the book and found some aspects of it to be very helpful. I also found it affirming to see many of my previous bosses behaviors being addressed as negative. Something's seemed very obvious (communication!) but one topic I wish they had delved into more is what to do when you're a new manager managing someone whose been at the company for many years and is older than you. This is something personally I would have found of interest.

Overall this book looked interesting when I was wandering around Barnes and Noble the other day so I decided to pick it up and give it a shot. While this book has some helpful information in it I can't help but think that I wasted my time reading this book.

In my opinion the majority of information included in this book was common sense. I think what would have been more helpful would have been to outline pointers to help solve the actual problems addressed in the book.

Overall I don' think I got a lot from this book. I wouldn't say its a total miss. But I would definitely not waste my money on this book go borrow it if you want to read it.

Helpful as I entered my first management position, but not 100% relevant to small companies and non-profits.

kind of neglecting this one...
