Description

In the workplace women have typically been encouraged to cultivate soft, feminine behaviours. But it's time for this to change. In New Rules of the Game, Packard shows women how to start playing men at their own game - and play to win. Good gamesmanship includes encouraging other women to compete outwardly instead of inwardly, cultivating the emotional distance necessary to succeed at work and understanding and replicating how male colleagues think. Her ideas are fleshed out with insightful anecdotes from her own 30 years in business.

Reviews

"A straightforward guide to success that deserves a prime spot on the bookshelves of career women aspiring to reach the highest corporate ranks."
Kirkus Reviews

When I read Susan Packards Ten Rules of Gamesmanship, I found many relatable truths. In our family we did not list them as rules but we learned by my mothers example. Difficult balancing acts, like being gracious while staying cool, and showing grit while valuing being likeable to others, and if you fail, learn from it and try again. I live many of Packards rules of gamesmanship through my mothers wise examples.
