How to Say It For Women: Communicating with Confidence and Power Using the Language of Success
This book is patronizing and outright ridiculous.
The author repeatedly drones on about the significance of the character Charlotte from the children’s book Charlotte’s Web. It’s absolute drivel.
If your literacy level exceeds the fifth grade, don’t waste your money.
It’s not even worth donating to the goodwill – it’s going directly into the trash.
Rating: 1 / 5
Martin M. Broadwell and Carol Broadwell Dietrich expertly guide you through learning how to be the boss. They cover adjusting to your new role, acquiring the skills you’ll need and coping with becoming a supervisor – from planning and organizing to directing and controlling. There may be just too much about stress and not quite enough about daily processes and follow through, but the information is solid across all subjects. The authors get right to the point, never sacrificing warmth, context or detail. Each section ends with thought-provoking group or individual exercises to reinforce what you’ve just read. We recommend this book to people who are taking their first supervisory positions, to those aiming for that goal and to anyone who has to train either of them.

This book is relevant for all women in the workplace. Especially beneficial if you read the book “Talking from 9 to 5, women and men at work” by Deborah Tannen before reading this book.

I can’t recommend this book highly enough. As a leadership coach in Silicon valley I often help women managers and executives to become better leaders, and this book speaks directly to two of the biggest roadblocks to women’s advancement: communication and confidence. These women are shocked at how closely Mindell understands their work challenges. The book takes highly volatile, challenging workplace situations and offers suggestions that immediately actionable.
