See Jane Lead: 99 Ways for Women to Take Charge at Work »

LOIS P. FRANKEL, PhD, is President of Corporate Coaching International. Dr. Frankel has three websites: www.drloisfrankel.com; www.gr8speakers.com; and www.corporatecoachingintl.com. She lives in Pasadena, California.

The workplace is changing. From the boardrooms to non-profit organizations to the military, the typical male management style is now obsolete. There is a new generation of employees who reject hierarchical leadership and respond to the behaviors and characteristics that women traditionally exhibit. In other words, the time for woment to take charge is now! In SEE JANE LEAD, Dr. Frankel provides a blueprint for women who want to tap their natural leadership abilities and manage with greater ease and confidence in the business world, on the soccer field, at home, and beyond. With the same sharp insight that she demonstrated in Nice Girls Don't Get Rich and Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Dr. Frankel shows women how they can overcome sabotaging childhood behaviors that hold them back, while offering practical advice and real-life examples of strong female leaders who have succeeded—in male dominated fields—beyond their wildest dreams.
