Book Review: Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office

This book is written by a female corporate trainer and lists 101 mistakes women make in business.  As a woman who was not trained in the corporate world but wound up there, this book was a necessity.  The chapter about How you Respond in business was the most pertinent to me cuz I have a big mouth and will quickly let people know that I am smarter than them...hence the lay off.  Some of my favorite chapters were:

• Denying Your Power
• Doing the Work of Others
• Asking Permission
• Protecting Jerks
• Wearing the Wrong Hairstyle (I guess the blond is a no go...)
• Accepting the Fait Accompli
• Tolerating Inappropriate Behavior
• Accepting Dead-End Assignments
• Playing the Gender Card

All in all, this book is a must read for any woman in business.
