The Rules of the Game for
Women in Business
(The pocket guide for woman who insists on having pockets.)
When I started my career in the late ‘80s, women wore suits with shoulder pads, pantyhose, and pumps. So I have seen things. And other than the clothing changing, not much else has. The thing is, men have been historically in business a lot longer than women, and that allowed them to make the rules. It is with absolutely no animosity toward men I am going to share with you the rules that I learned to be successful in a man’s game. When you know the rules, you become a better player.
