Dr. Anne Litwin’s research into women’s relationships and communication at work reveals startling paradoxes. In New Rules for Women, she exposes key sources of confusion and misunderstanding between women colleagues and offers powerful tools for preventing and resolving conflict that result in better relationships, as well as increased productivity and retention.
“This practical book—filled with tips, tools, exercises, and worksheets—has the potential to free us from negative stereotypes while helping us reclaim parts of our experience in the workplace that have been misunderstood and devalued.”
—Joyce K. Fletcher, Distinguished Scholar, Center for Gender in Organizations, Simmons School of Management, and author of Disappearing Acts: Gender, Power, and Relational Practice at Work
“A phenomenal book for all women at all levels of any organization. It reads very easily and has practical next-step instructions. I regret that it was not available to me during my professional career in healthcare. I highly recommend it to managers and staff.”
—Joanne K. Carr, retired Associate Medical Center Director/Nurse Executive
“With practical advice in every chapter, I see new ways to attract and retain women, value the strengths that women bring, and unleash their full potential to speed a company toward its goals. Nothing could be more important.”
—Deborah Rieman, Executive Chairman, Metamarkets
“Anne Litwin asks brave questions about the ways in which women’s unspoken assumptions about their female colleagues and bosses can undermine their overall effectiveness and performance. With fascinating research, an engaging style, and practical wisdom, this is a superb read for anyone interested in gender equity in the workplace.”
—Michele Tracy Berger, Associate Professor, Department of Women’s and Gender Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
