How to Be Successful Without Hurting Men’s Feelings: Non-threatening Leadership Strategies for Women

by Sarah Cooper

The unspoken rules for how women should behave in the workplace are as numerous as they are confusing.

Ask for a pay rise? Pushy.
Take credit for an idea? Arrogant.
Admit a mistake? Weak.
Successfully juggle work and family? Unpromotable.

In How to Be Successful Without Hurting Men's Feelings, Sarah Cooper, author of the bestselling 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings, illustrates how women can achieve their dreams, succeed in their careers and become leaders, without harming the fragile male ego.

This wickedly funny tongue-in-cheek guide includes chapters on `How to Ace Your Job Interview Without Over-acing It’, `9 Non-threatening Leadership Strategies for Women’, and `Choose Your Own Adventure: Do You Want to Be Likeable or Successful?’. It even includes several pages to doodle on while men finish explaining things.

When all else fails, there is a set of cut-outable moustaches inside to allow women to seem more man-like, which will probably lead to a quick promotion!

Hilarious! This witty, brutal but honest guide would sure make you plan for your big jump and attack for greatness.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest book review.

However, at some point, I find it confusing. I know it's supposed to be sarcastic but sometimes I can't identify which is real. I want to take it so seriously that it'll be my "How-to" but then again, I may find myself odd when following the tips. The book is very entertaining with all the illustrations and exercises plus tons of examples and comparisons.
