Description: By most people's standards I would say I've had a pretty good career. I've reached the top of the 'ladder' and been lucky enough to have had a damned good life. But at what cost? At the cost of who I truly was. I played the business game for years, where the rules were set by men for men. I was tough and aggressive. I put in long hours, was competitive and resilient. But I suppressed my natural energy, sensitivity and instinct. I worked like this until I couldn't any more. And then I changed. My team and I rebuilt my business on the values that matter: collaboration, empathy, instinct and trust. Values not always associated with leadership or winning, but which have made every one of us feel good. Now I want to share what I've learned through my own experiences, and am still learning, to change the way you work so that female energy and power will be seen as the most valuable currency in today's new world of work. It's time to create an unstoppable force for change. A feminine force. It's time to # Work Like A Woman. Waterstones Work Like a Woman - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

Review: Mary Portas doesn't claim to have all the answers, but she proves once again that she knows how to ask the right questions and is prepared to go after answers herself. The title 'Work Like A Woman' will likely put off a lot of men (and maybe some women) from reading, but it shouldn't in the slightest: leadership isn't about box-ticking - it's about navigating the existing landscape whilst simultaneously carving new pathways. This book catches us at a transformational crossroads where our organisations need to be rebalanced and aligned to optimise everybody, not just men. Mary honestly recounts some major learning points of her career in parallel with changes in gender parity. In 2019 we are in a sticky zone where some of the last breakwaters of the 'old ways' are proving tough to carve through - Mary locates them and details some of the ways she has found with her teams to create new process and culture. Mary doesn't claim that they're easy wins, but that the process is worth it. 'Work Like A Woman' is a fast and generous read and one every reader should be excited to pick up - nobody is held at the end of a bayonet here (except those who used to hold it themselves) - it is a manifesto to encourage others to get on-board. Loved it.

Review: Mary addresses alot of the issues I have found so far in my working career and helped to light a my fire again, which was getting extinguished by working in these alpha environments. This book shows working like a woman isn't about gender, more the values to create a positive and encouraging environment. I would recommend this book as it enforces what should be important in our lives and now it's time for us to make these changes.
