Ten Secrets of Successful Men That Women Want to Know - Tapa dura

Based on a research study of employees and managers in Fortune 500 companies, this book explains the ten career strategies that successful men know - and that women need to learn. The authors conclude that most women simply haven't worked out which career skills are the most valued in their organization. They relate dozens of stories about women who have experienced career-limiting experiences, both subtle and overt, from being excluded from networking opportunities, to not getting noticed for their projects or accomplishments, to having men conveniently forget to tell them the unofficial "rules of the game". This book explains the importance of gaining visibility, finding advocates, developing effective networks and understanding how to best communicate with colleagues.
