Description
Veteran journalists Claire Shipman and Katty Kay marshal the evidence to show how women's management style is ideally suited to the new business world, resulting in more profitable companies with happier employees. They also show how women can use this power to get what they really want - more time and freedom in their jobs without falling off the professional ladder. Most women will happily trade some responsibility and some cash for more time-that's the new currency.
Reviews / Votes
"A personal, provocative and challenging book for career women who want less guilt, more life." -- Diane Sawyer "Womenomics describes the workplace trend that finally makes it possible for women to be successful and sane at the same time. And happily, it's a recession-friendly formula. -- Tina Brown, founder, The Daily Beast "Shipman and Kay have issued a rallying cry for women that is also a wake-up call for men. Our wives, daughters, sisters, and mothers are reshaping business as we know it. And that can make us all better off." -- Daniel H. Pink, author of A Whole New Mind "Without wasted words, Shipman and Kay provide practical suggestions for how you can take charge of your career with courage and confidence." -- Lois P. Frankel, Ph.D., author of Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office "Womenomics makes a compelling statement about the financial impact women can have in the workplace and offers valuable ideas for capitalizing on this trend, even in this economic climate." -- Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook "Buy a copy of Womenomics for yourself, your best friend, your daughter, your star employee, and even your boss." -- Cathie Black, president, Hearst Magazines and author of Basic Black "Employers should be listening to what talented women want and use this book to hold up their end of the bargain, so that the best and brightest can have both a job and a life." -- Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, and author of Confidence "Every woman who's ever been knocked off course in the quest to have the elusive 'all' should run out and buy this book today!" -- Dee Dee Myers, former White House press secretary and author of Why Women Should Rule the WorldMore details
