I loved reading Naked in the Board Room, which I'd characterize as a must-read for any woman who is pursuing a career. The book covers all the A-Z's of how to most effectively succeed in business, while simultaneously maintaining your morals and your sanity! Everything is included - from hiring to trusting your gut It's definitely "the book" to read this spring!

Real insight into management March 3, 2005 Stewart Alsop (San Francisco, CA) 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Robin Wolaner speaks the truth about how to be an effective manager, including the fundamental concept that being human and emotional has a place in the office. I might be a guy, but I think it's one of the most useful business books I've read.
BEST BUSINESS BOOK I'VE READ March 8, 2005 Marketeer (Naples, Florida) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
With wit, wisdom and remarkable insight, Robin Wolaner provides women (and men) an enormous number of tips and rules for getting ahead in the workplace. You'll find a plethora of practical information ranging from negotiating your next raise to handling sticky office situations. This is a book that you are going to want to keep deskside since it is as relevant for senior executives as it is for those in the early stages of their careers. I'm going to keep an extra copy handy to give as a graduation present to my career bound niece -- and another for a friend eagerly awaiting her next promotion.
Fantastic! March 10, 2005 Very Important Person 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I just started a new job, the first one in which I had to manage a number of employees. I'd have been lost without this book. It's smart, it's clear, it's funny -- and the author knows whereof she speaks. Obviously, she's a smart career woman, but she's also full of heart and soul. Buy this book!
