A warm and practical guide to improving relationships at work. The ultimate guide for women who want to let go of old, negative influences and take charge of their professional lives. Debra Mandel has worked with hundreds of women whose unhealed childhood hurts have caused them problems at work. Although most people understand that childhood wounds can affect intimate relationships, they are often caught off guard when they affect workplace interactions. Nevertheless, once those familiar buttons get pushed, an overbearing boss is transformed into a bullying older brother, or a judgemental co-worker becomes the parent who failed to applaud past achievements. "Your Boss is not Your Mother" attacks these problems at the roots. Using real-life stories and anecdotes, it demonstrates how readers can learn to respond to people in the workplace with a clear head. Mandel shows how to distinguish a truly abusive boss or co-worker from one who is actually harmless, how to deal with flirtations and office romance opportunities and how to negotiate the unique and often unexpected dilemmas of dealing with other women at work. Full of interactive features - self-tests, exercises and checklists - designed to help readers explore and assess their workplace interactions, "Your Boss is not Your Mother" is the book that professional women everywhere have been waiting for.
