She Wins, You Win
by Gail Evans
In her bestselling first book, Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman, powerhouse Gail Evans put forth the idea that in order for women to complete with men, they must first know the rules of business that men have written. In She Wins, You Win, Gail takes her empowering approach to corporate success to the next level: It isn't enough for women to understand and learn men's rules--they must create their own. And the path to success begins with this single most important rule: Every time a woman succeeds in business, every other woman's chance of succeeding in business increases. Every time a woman fails in business, every other woman's chance of failure increases. Full of groundbreaking ideas, illuminating case studies, and occasionally controversial suggestions, she shows women that the way to win the game is to band together and play on the same team--or lose as isolated individuals. Whether you're a top executive or an entry-level assistant, She Wins, You Win will give you the tactics and strategies you need to attain your career goals.
Gail will address the key issues of her book and will be happy to sign your copy of the book at the meeting.
