Women in Command: How to Lead Without Getting Off Your Heels

Every woman in charge knows that, as enjoyable as this position may seem, leading a group isn't easy. Managing people entails more responsibilities than you might imagine. Being a boss is never easy, but it's doubly difficult for women. It seems like there's no middle ground here: you're either the shrew who rules with an iron fist or the nice girl who always gets passed over. All of this may seem daunting, but if you've made it to the top, you're certainly capable of handling it—you just need some good advice to find the right path. Whether you supervise just two people or run a business empire, this book will show you how to assume your new position of power with intelligence and insight. It will also teach you how to motivate your employees, delegate tasks without feeling guilty, and deal with company policies, evaluations, promotions, and even dismissals. Through good and bad boss stories, interviews, advice, and humorous tips, "Women in Charge" will help you do what it takes to become the mentor your employees deserve—and, of course, teach you how to enjoy the wonderful aspects of being in leadership.
