With revolutionary changes in corporate structures, a new leadership style is emerging, and that style is uniquely female. Gone are the days when men called the shots. Women are rising in the ranks of dozens of industries that have not been traditionally welcoming or supportive of females--telecommunications, computing, e-commerce, advertising, consulting, and information technology. More and more women have replaced men or excelled over rivals in male-dominated industries because they possess the qualities of leadership that top firms are seeking today.

But what are these qualities?

In this incisive and engaging book, Esther Wachs Book reveals the seven key uniquely female qualities of leadership that are turning the entire world around and allowing more women to achieve success in arenas that once were not open to them. These new paradigm leaders

Are able to sell the vision.
Are unafraid of reinventing the rules.
Possess a laser focus to achieve. Exhibit courage under fire.
Can turn challenges into opportunities.
Are keenly aware of customer preferences.
Maximize high touch in an era of high tech.

From Meg Whitman of eBay to Marcy Carsey of Carsey-Werner and Oxygen Media, from Martha Ingram of Ingram Industries to Shelly Lazarus of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, this book is filled with compelling insights gleaned from the country's highest-ranking businesswomen. Why the Best Man for the Job Is a Woman reveals how these new paradigm leaders excelled and introduces the world to a new breed of leader--The Female Leader--and captures her strategies for success.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
