Customer Reviews

Naked in the Board Room is a Winner!

I loved reading Naked in the Board Room, which I'd characterize as a must-read for any woman who is pursuing a career. The book covers all the A-Z's of how to most effectively succeed in business, while simultaneously maintaining your morals and your sanity! Everything is included - from hiring to trusting your gut It's definitely "the book" to read this spring! Eileen Bramlet

Fantastic!

I just started a new job, the first one in which I had to manage a number of employees. I'd have been lost without this book. It's smart, it's clear, it's funny -- and the author knows whereof she speaks. Obviously, she's a smart career woman, but she's also full of heart and soul. Buy this book!

BEST BUSINESS BOOK I'VE READ

With wit, wisdom and remarkable insight, Robin Wolaner provides women (and men) an enormous number of tips and rules for getting ahead in the workplace. You'll find a plethora of practical information ranging from negotiating your next raise to handling sticky office situations. This is a book that you are going to want to keep deskside since it is as relevant for senior executives as it is for those in the early stages of their careers. I'm going to keep an extra copy handy to give as a graduation present to my career bound niece -- and another for a friend eagerly awaiting her next promotion.

I needed this book twenty five years ago.

Much ink has been spilled in the service of helping women succeed in business, but this book finally gets it right. Wolaner combines her own amusing and inspiring story with brilliant and accurate insights about the real nature of the business world and what it takes to thrive in it without losing your mind or identity. The result? The truest portrait with the wisest advice available. Every woman needs a mentor. Now, thanks to this book, every woman can have one.

Real insight into management

Robin Wolaner speaks the truth about how to be an effective manager, including the fundamental concept that being human and emotional has a place in the office. I might be a guy, but I think it's one of the most useful business books I've read.
