Title Details

As women make great strides in business in the past two decades, many obstacles clearly still remain in a culture where the majority of the top jobs and positions are held by men. Jo Haigh has worked for many years in corporate finance, and has experienced these obstacles and overcome them. She offers stories of success from many different areas of business, giving advice on how to reconcile an open, emotional disposition with an executive level's occasionally brutal atmosphere; how to spot the right training and development opportunities (and get them funded); how to overcome resistance to female leadership; and how to build, manage, and maintain a professional network. Based on Haigh's own experience as an executive and entrepreneur, and bolstered by the experiences and stories of other top women in their fields, this is an indispensable resource for all women in business.
