A Legendary Business Leader's Roadmap for Achieving Pride, Power, and Joy at Work
1 of 1 copy available
In the highly competitive and often cutthroat world of advertising, Charlotte became the first female ever to head two giant, multinational advertising
agencies. In serving her demanding clients, she helped build many of the most important brands around the world. Today, Charlotte rates her current title—teacher—her most satisfying, as she travels through the United States and Europe educating women on how to ignite their own strengths, in what she calls “the era of forging ahead for women.” Her pioneering experiences have been captured in I’d Rather Be in Charge, creating a blueprint for women as they face their own challenges and strive to achieve the positions of leadership and influence they deserve.
Told in an intimate and honest style, I’d Rather Be in Charge is part personal history, part pragmatic guide, as Charlotte describes her own experiences, lessons from her peers such as Martha Stewart and Suze Orman, as well as stories of her students’ transformations. By chronicling both successes and mistakes, Charlotte proves that finding your own personal style of leadership is the only way to take charge, find satisfaction, and gain confidence in the ever-evolving workplace of today. I’d Rather Be in Charge is a breakthrough book. It is a master class for women who are ready to shatter their own glass ceilings.

Former Ogilvy & Mather CEO and undersecretary of state Beers distills her considerable knowledge to help women lead, inspire, and influence others. She urges women to change how they view themselves at work and change the perception of those around them in order to make their potential apparent. To do this, women should understand that men work differently, and that the expectations placed on women in the workplace go beyond being able to run the show. Beers strongly advocates getting to know yourself so that taking charge is inevitable, and offers five questions to clarify your true nature. Along the way, Beers shares constructive and cautionary stories that illustrate positive, as well as negative, interactions and behavior. While she provides worthwhile advice throughout, her most valuable counsel is on the double-edged sword of communication and knowing when to take the lead. A role model and champion to all women who want to make the most of their careers, Beers offers useful guidance on how to seize opportunities, be influential, and shape events. Agent: Jan Miller, Dupree Miller Literary Agency.
