Description

Corporate America is filled with millions of women managers striving to become successful, effective leaders. Yet the countless management books published each year fail to capture the experience of what it means for women to play with -- and beat -- the big boys at their own game.<p>Providing inspiration, encouragement, and hard-won advice, Why the Best Man for the Job Is a Woman draws on the cumulative experiences of women such as Meg Whitman, CEO of eBay; Shelly Lazarus, CEO of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide; Patricia Fili-Kruschel, president of ABC-TV Network; Rebecca Mark, Vice Chairman of Enron; Orit Gadiesh, Chairman of Bain & Coo; Ann Winblad, Partner, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners; Martha Ingram, Chairman of Ingram Industries; and Marcy Carsey, Co-founder and Co-president of the Carsey -- Werner Company, to help all women climb the corporate ladder. It identifies the key characteristics of these women that establishes a new management paradigm, thereby leading to an understanding of what they do differently...and why it works!
