Fast Company, October 1999 by Polly LaBarre The New Face of
Office Politics Sure, the new world of business values what you know over whom you know. But,
argues influential teacher and consultant John Eldred, you still have to navigate
the political realities of your organization. Fast Company, February 1998 by Anna Muoio Women and
Men, Work and Power More than ever - and in more companies than ever - men and women are working
together, swapping ideas, sharing power. It is no longer newsworthy when an
accomplished woman is promoted to lead a business unit or to run a company full
of hard-charging men. In fact, more people in the United States now work for
women-owned businesses than for the 500 biggest public companies. So why is
there still so much tension between men and women at work? Do men and women
really lead in different ways? Do they view and use power differently? Must
high-achieving women make different sacrifices than men? Fast Company asked
13 prominent women - leaders from a variety of companies, industries, and backgrounds
- for their insights on these and other provocative questions. |
