I found this book to be very enlightening. I am the person the author writes about in the book. I try to be helpful, help other people with their job, and am willing to put myself all out because someone else doesn't pull hi/her own wreight. The author says we women shouldn't be helping subordinates do their job. It keeps us from sharpening our own skills - therefore preventing adbvancements. Instead we should be training the person under us to do our job so we will be able to move on and a replacement is readily available. I've started following the author's advice. I am giving my assistant more responsibility. She can do clerical jobs better than I can. She likes the responsibility, and it frees me to do the more difficult tasks in my job. Now, if I can just apply this to my family........ Oh, well, you can't win them all!
