Synopsis

Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman, Gail Evans's first blockbuster book on getting ahead in business, was a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Business Week business bestseller. In her eagerly awaited new book, this powerhouse author-and CNN's first female executive vice president-takes her empowering approach to corporate success to the next level: It isn't enough for women to understand and learn men's rules-they must create their own. And the path to success begins with this single most important rule:

Evey time a woman succeeds in business, every other woman's chance of succeeding in business increases.

Every time a woman fails in business, every other woman's chance of failure increases.

Whether you're a top executive or an entry-level assistant, She Wins, You Win will give you the tactics and strategies (and a few controversial ideas along the way) you need to attain your career goals:

* How supporting each other paves the way for success
* The importance of being a team player-and how to set up your own winning team
* When it's okay to break the rules
* How to tap into the resources already at your disposal
* Discovering your rainmaking skills
* Sharing information
* Why women should forget networking and start "webbing"
* Women to watch out for-from "Queen Beas" to "Seniority Sues"

From Publishers Weekly:

Evans, the first female to be named an executive vice president at CNN, obviously knows a thing or two about acquiring power. In this follow-up to her Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman, she advises women to trump the old boys' network by playing a "girls' game." Espousing a one-for-all, all-for one approach, Evans insists women must work together to "achieve a critical mass at the highest levels," concluding, "Every woman must always play on the women's team." Leading readers step-by-step through the process of building formal and informal teams, Evans explores seven pivotal topics, including mentoring, "rainmaking," information-sharing and "webbing" (networking with comprehensive, complex interconnections), while teaching women how to deal with challenges (including which people to cultivate and which to avoid) and dismantling popular myths and allaying common fears. This is an aggressive but motivating handbook for women who are serious about career success. (On sale Apr. 28)
