Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman

What Men Know About Success that Women Need to Learn

By: Gail Evans

Narrated by: Kitty Hendrix

Women make up almost half of today's labor force, but in corporate America they don't share half of the power. A major reason for this? Most women were never taught how to play the game of business.

Throughout her career in the super-competitive, male-dominated media industry, Gail Evans, one of the country's most powerful executives, has met innumerable women who tell her that they feel lost in the workplace, almost as if they were playing a game without knowing the directions. In this book, she reveals the secrets to the playbook of success and teaches women at all levels of the organization - from assistant to vice president - how to play the game of business to their advantage.

Men know the rules because they wrote them, but women often feel shut out of the process because they don't know when to speak up, when to ask for responsibility, what to say at an interview, and a lot of other key moves that can make or break a career. Sharing with humor and candor her years of lessons from corporate life, Gail Evans gives listeners practical tools for making the right decisions at work.

It was okay.

Some decent insights, but I couldn’t help but feel like this is more of asking women to work around the toxic self-centeredness and egomania of the “good ol boys club” behavior. I will give it a second listen eventually and update this review.

meh, but good if you need help understanding the rules of misogyny

This is pretty out of date if you are in a progressive culture, if not, it is probably still very valuable.

Timeless, practical advice.

There is a take away on every page. I wish I had a guide like this when I graduated from college.

Great book!
