- Resources--allocations don’t always square with the results expected
- Buy-In--you can’t lead if no one wants to follow, but bringing a team on board can be problematic
- Making a Difference--the value you create must be visible before it makes a difference

From One Woman to Another, 2006-02-22
As a woman in corporate America, I found this book to be provide some extremely wonderful information. It was as if the authors had interviewed me directly to come up with those traps. Since completing the book, I have changed the way I approach projects, and have found the steps in the book to be extremely helpful! The format was so easy to follow, and I related to so much of the information-especially the common traps.

Well done...a helping hand for women on the way UP!, 2005-03-16
In March 2005, I attended the Office Depot Women's Success Strategies program. Speaker Anne Mulcahy, CEO of Xerox, was asked a question about the focus on recently-resigned HP CEO Carly Fiorina. Anne said that the key to making gender a non-issue was to get more women in the boardrooms. Amen!
Also at the conference, panelist Carol Frohlinger shared solid negotiating tips with the attendees. Impressed, I bought this book. WOW! This information levels the playing field. Get out there. Decide what you want. And, GET IT in a win-win way. Thanks, Carol, Judith and Deborah for doing your part to help women get to the top floor.

Highly Recommended !, 2005-02-23
Women in leadership positions will thank authors Deborah M. Kolb, Judith Williams and Carol Frohlinger for their strategic advice. Their book, solidly based on the experiences of 100 women in leadership jobs, clearly identifies obstacles women face in gaining legitimacy as leaders. The authors explain how women executives' incorrect - and possibly unconscious - assumptions increase their troubles. The book teaches readers to make their assumptions explicit and to overcome obstacles with step-by-step deliberate solutions. For instance, the book counsels you to get as much information as you can before taking a new position, and then to really think about what you have learned. The main chapters enumerate five major ways to gain respect and credibility as a leader, but the authors also provide advice on negotiation and some relevant questions for job hunters to ask. Although it gets repetitive, the authors accompany the final outline of major points with specific recommendations you can implement. We recommend this book to women in business who want to move up, or who already have.

Great Read for Women in New Management Roles, 2005-01-22
As a young woman actively managing a corporate career, I found Her Place at the Table full of valuable advice and lessons. The authors candidly address some of the major challenges a woman will face as she navigates a competitive office environment. My favorite chapter focused on gathering essential information - a frustrating part of any big project. Better yet, the authors present their strategies with examples and reflections from real women in leadership roles - making it an interesting read even after a tough day at the office.
