Summary: Why the Best Man for the Job is a Woman
Review: Esther Wachs brings something to the table with this one. Writing in a style that's both lucid and engaging, she unpacks the mysteries of how the feminine mystique is shaping the digital age. Useful, check that please, ESSENTIAL reading for men too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This was the best book I ever read. A MUST READ!
Review: I loved this book. I usually read fiction but this book captured my interest right away. I especially enjoyed learning about the backgrounds and personalities of these intriguing women. Wachs Book has done thorough research and has made clear the parellels between these "new paradigm leaders" from whom we can all learn something. Don't miss this one!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Why the Best Man for the Job is a Woman
Review: Save your money! The authors hopelessly biased style and language is a big turn-off. Any useful information is obscured by the overly general "truths" about the innate supperiority of women to men. I found this book to be a BIG dissapointment. There are much better books out there that offer similar substance with a more positive and believable tone. Get one of them!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent insights on female leadership qualities
Review: The author captures many of the unique aspects of female leadership missing from corporate America -- in its old and new economy iterations.

Wachs-Book uses clear examples to illustrate how specifically "female" problem-solving attributes can enhance a comany's leadership portfolio. Her commentary on women's rule-creating and not rule-following qualities rings especially true.

This is an excellent read for people participating in the process of creating and evolving their organizations' senior management teams.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent book
Review: This fresh look at women professionals is both entertaining and informative. An excellent reporter and writer, Esther Wachs Book provides in-depth profiles of women CEOs and business leaders (many of whom rarely speak to the press) as she shows how traditionally "female" qualities are assets in today's business climate. A fast, fascinating read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We are leaders, yes - now hear us roar!
Review: This is a wonderful book that should bolster the confidence of all the women who read it. But I would add one very important item: women show far too much humility about their talents and skills. If we want people to value our skills, we must first show that we value ourselves - by making sure our accomplishments are visible to targeted audiences. If we want people to hire us, buy from us, and invest in our companies, they have to know who we are, what we have accomplished and why they should do business with us! Self-promotion is not bragging. It is a valuable business tool that careerwomen must add to their strategies for success.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A sexist and sad book
Review: Why women should buy this book? Are they really in need for this kind of "confidence boost" or we already know that women can compete head-to-head with men?

My advice is simple: If you need this book, then you should look for a career where you don't need to compete with anyone, neither man or woman.
