Recommendation

Communication and gender gaps plague the workplace. Groups at corporate meetings and presentations often ignore females' voices or relegate them to the background. Fortunately, Dr. Phyllis Mindell diagnoses the language problems that block women in business and provides grammatical cures for lackluster skills. Her book offers excellent examples, exercises and "action plans" to guide women (and, to a large extent, men, too) through the maze of language and politics. The text's only flaw is a small dose of repetition. Otherwise, getAbstract considers this book essential reading for women in the executive suite and those trapped below the glass ceiling.

Take-Aways

  • Women should be aware that every form of communication – speech, print and e-mail – offers hidden messages.
  • Your communication abilities either enhance or diminish your professional status.
  • Leave personal language at home. Speak professionally in the office.
