The Next Generation of Women Leaders: What You Need to Lead but Won't Learn in Business School, by Selena Rezvani (Available December 2009)
So, young lady, you finally finished college, degree in-hand, and you think you're ready for the real world. Unfortunately, you hit that hard wall most graduates run in to once they realize that the working world is not exactly how college led you to believe it would be. Lucky for you, there's help. In her debut book, The Next Generation of Women Leaders: What You Need to Lead but Won't Learn in Business School, Selena Rezvani shares insider tips from not only her own education and experiences, but also from many high-profile women in the business world in an effort to help young women understand what it will take for them to catch their "break".
With a foreword written by Gail Evans, retired Executive Vice President of CNN Newsgroup, and interviews with Jeanine Becker, Senior Counsel at Motorola, Inc., D'Arcy Foster Rudnay, Senior Vice President for Comcast Corporation, Catherine J. Mathis, Senior VP of Corporate Communications at The New York Times Company, and more, The Next Generation of Women Leaders is a great tool with real-world situations and advice to help women who are looking to gain a better advantage in the work field.
Starting off with the numerous barriers and issues women have had, and continue to, face in the working world, Rezvani breaks it all down with not only statistical information and terms, but also with information on how it does and can be applied to the real world. Turning to a "coaching" method, Rezvani then focuses on how women can develop themselves before even starting a job search. One thing I can attest to never really learning in college was how to find what I loved to do before clicking on monster.com or careerbuilder.com. With a degree in communications, my options were many, however there were lots of positions that I would never want, an issue Rezvani confronts and helps you discover the answer to using various techniques. She then goes on to explain how to succeed once you land the position you want, how vital networking is (not just for your current position but also for future positions), the art of negotiation, working to your potential while still having a life (something I'm still working on, to be honest), and much more.
It is about time that there was a "handbook" for women that told the truth about what it is to be a female in the business world and how to get what you want and to succeed without the harsh labeling that has been the stereotype in the past. Selena Rezvani's The Next Generation of Women Leaders is a resource any woman working in any field would be able to use in their careers for years to come.
