Gail Evans' Play Like a Man Win Like a Woman is a book that is helping me now and will be very helpful in the future for me. As an electrical engineering student, I know what it's like to be in a male dominated field. Evans explores the differences between men and women and how this affects their performance in the workplace and whether or not they move up the corporate ladder. She compares the workplace to a game with rules written by men. She uses this metaphor throughout the book to explain the rules for playing the game of success. She stresses that the most important thing is to enjoy your career and explains that many women in male dominated professions do not enjoy their jobs because they feel isolated from the other workers. Evans offers solutions to this problem and more that women encounter when attempting to advance in the job market. Overall this book contains a lot of information that is essential for females who are trying to get ahead in the world (it's also good for men who want to figure out why the women they work with act the way they do). Gail Evans is the role model every woman in the business world needs! |

Having attained a significant amount of success in high tech management within two companies where I was the only woman in my peer group, I bought this book more out of curiosity than with the expectation of learning anything new. Much to my surprise, Gail Evan's book not only confirmed some assumptions that I'd made along the way, but really opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at a number of situations that have occured in my everyday business activities. What a great book...the only improvement that I could suggest, would be for Ms. Evan's to have written this book ten years ago! Great read for the seasoned female exec as well as those looking to climb the corporate ladder. |

The knowledge that men and women function differently isn't new and there are plenty of books on the topic already. Most of the books I've read on the subject do a great job of identifying our differences and how men and women communicate or socialise but aren't so good at discussing anything real about how we behave in the workplace. Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman is all about how we work, how we are perceived and motivating factors for success.
Gail Evans is my new hero on the topic of career success for women. She writes from her own experience with real life anecdotes from other men and women in management roles. Her style is very easy to read, pleasantly candid, and often humourous which really is refreshing for this type of book. I find a lot of books on gender relations to be overly serious and a bit too textbook for my taste. Evans also counsels women to be themselves and not try to be men but to retain uniquely female qualities such as intuition and emotional intelligence, something that can be lacking from women working at executive level these days.
This book is an excellent resource for women in business at any level but particularly useful for new grads or women working in entry level roles who don't have a great deal of experience with the politics and strategy of dealing with men in management roles. This would also be an extremely valuable read for any men working in a classic male dominated heirarchic management structure with a predominantly female workforce (i.e. health, education). |

Gail Evans… has put together a practical, honest, often humorous playbook for career success that every woman (and a few men) should read… Read the book. Learn how to play the game, and win. Men shouldn’t be the only ones having fun. |
