Teri A, Reviewer

As a woman who has witnessed first-hand, over and over again, the "good old boys" in action, I truly believe that this book is a MUST READ for any woman who is really trying to forward her career - not only in the corporate world, but in small and medium sized businesses as well!

Learning the rules and learning how to play their game is critical, and the authors do a great job telling it like it is and helping women learn to navigate their way in corporate politics without selling themselves short.
