The Discreet Guide for Executive Women: How to Work Well with Men (and Other Difficulties) by Jennifer Crittenden. Release by Kelley & Hall Book Publicity

SAN DIEGO, CA, May 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Highly experienced former CFO and veteran of over twenty years working in male-dominated companies in the U.S., Europe, and the U.K., Jennifer Crittenden has written an eye-opening book for women in business. Her guiding premise is "do not treat men as the enemy." She provides practical and effective ways for dealing with men in business; the good, the bad and the very bad.

She offers practical advice about how to do the following (discreetly):
• build relationships with men one-on-one, in meetings, and after hours
• work a difficult room full of men and shine in the eyes of a male manager
• identify gentlemen, as well as bullies, liars, and predators
• detect a glass ceiling and sidestep a misogynist backlash
• get noticed for your courage and common sense and be heard
• avoid classic pitfalls related to conflict, emotional behavior, and sex

Crittenden is convinced that women are capable of building a satisfying career working in a man's world in non-traditional roles. She claims ambitious women executives can "flourish with the good guys—deal with the bad guys." Using their wits, natural abilities, and a bit of humor, women can navigate the corporate thicket. And they can proceed as far as they want up the corporate ladder without having to compromise personally or professionally.
