Leading career coach Anna Runyan, founder of ClassyCareerGirl.com and Professor of Career Development at DeVry University, shares with you her secrets to leadership success, gleaned from her years of management experience in a male dominated field.

If you've ever thought that men can seem difficult to figure out, let alone manage, then this guide is for you.

Finally, you’ll learn what not to do when managing men and how to expertly handle management situations you might have floundered in.
