Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-01 00:00:00 Jessy Smith Unfortunately I never bought into the gender makes the difference argument. The book had some good statistics on how many women start up businesses with what kind of help, etc. but I didn't quite buy into the stereotypes. I've met plenty of men who have the attributes that the author argues make women more successful as entrepreneurs. Regardless this was a good book for general advice on how to handle the challenges and opportunities in the workplace. 1) Focus on the mission or niche - don't get distracted, but don't be afraid to change the business if the market demands 2) Being employee-centric isn't a bad thing, especially in the beginning but don't be afraid to make the ugly decision when needed. Create a culture where employees will produce more than asked, everytime 3) Successful leaders seek more non-work time, not more work time 4) Value diversity but recognize patterns, trends.
