Swim with the Dolphins : How Women Can Succeed in Corporate America on Their Own Terms

Rating:
Summary: Insightful!
Review: Connie Brown Glaser and Barbara Steinberg Smalley argue that female managers no longer need to act like men to be successful. Instead, women managers should depend on their natural attributes - intuition, nurturing, having respect for individuals - to create webs rather than hierarchies. This bold, timely book is packed with profiles of women who have succeeded on their own terms. The writing is lean and cuts to the chase. We [...] recommend this book as a likely inspiration and a helpful guide to most women (particularly managers) trying to cope with the old folkways of corporate America. The male manager will also find that it offers him a new perspective at work and a wake-up call at home. [Note: This book is not linked to Harvey MacKay's Swim With the Sharks, which focuses on selling, negotiating, and marketing.]

Summary: An uplifting book about management!
Review: This book, i.e., Swim With The Doplhins is an excellent book for both women and men. Being a man, I found myself wanting to grow into a person with a "dolphin" personality.
