Remember, Ginger had to do everything Fred did, but backward and in heels.

| Ok, so the title “Corporate Dominatrix” reeks of S&M, but it’s an eye opening book about the power plays in corporate life - and how women can empower themselves to be more successful. I’m not an uber-feminist or anything, but found the book pretty interesting. Any woman who shares her corporate life in the company of a majority of men will appreciate it - and find humor, as well as practical advice, in the book.
Guiding readers through the six roles of domination—the goddess, the queen, the governess, the amazon, the nurse and the schoolgirl—the author Lisa Robyn describes the attributes of each role and how to play them in order to gain positive results from bosses, co-workers and direct reports. For instance, assuming the amazon role can smooth the way when merging staffs after a reorganization; the schoolgirl role creates opportunities to borrow power and learn from mentors; and if a queen rules with a velvet glove, not an iron fist, she can build support by fortifying those below her. More than a standout title, Robyn offers advice for getting serious results in a most readable fashion. Leather, whips and chains are optional! |
