And they still get ahead! Why? As psychologist Adrienne Mendell learned when she interviewed onehundred male executives, the traits that women spend their entire lives erasing from their personalities are actually the qualities that men value in the world of work. And since men are still in the power positions, if you dont play it their way, you dont play at all.Based on Mendells interviews and her experience of counseling hundreds of frustrated career women, How Men Think identifies the seven rules that men learned by playing sports as childrengames that excluded girls. These rules may seem simple on the surface, but understanding them as men do is anything but easy. You may have fallen into many of these traps yourself:* Youre mad because you want your male boss to let you control your projects. But youve got to take controlthats the only way youll get it.* Youre steamed because a male colleague consistently takes credit for your work. Do you make a point of touting your accomplishments?* When you make a mistake you apologize. But the man you apologize to doesnt think youre politehe thinks youre admitting incompetence.* A fight with a male colleague leaves you shaken. But the men in your office shout at each other for an hour and then go out for a beer.These are the times that try womens souls! The strategies, insights, and eyeopening advice in How Men Think will help you get along better with the boys and propel you to the top where you belong.The more women have opportunities to play sports the more proficient they will become in competing in this mens world of unwritten rules. To bridge the gap, Mendells book, How Men Think, is a necessary guide for women working with men.Diane Everett, Ph.D.Executive DirectorNational Association for Girls and Women in Sport\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45900991135942,"sku":"DADAX0449909786","price":21.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/51hl2Y6aAYL.jpg?v=1780320749","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/how-men-think-the-seven-essential-rules-for-making-it-in-a-mans-world","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
