According to CareerWomen.com, 66 percent of women who are
unhappy at work attribute it to their relationships with
coworkers. These women suffer because they continually get
sucked into needless workplace drama-with co-workers,
bosses, subordinates, and clients. In doing so, they're
usually replicating problems they had with parents,
siblings, or others in childhood. Once ensnarled, these
women don't have the knowledge or tools to escape these traps. Debra Mandel has worked with hundreds of women whose
unhealed childhood hurts have caused them problems at work.
Although most of us understand that childhood wounds can
affect intimate relationships, we're caught off guard when
they affect workplace interactions. Nevertheless, once those
familiar buttons get pushed, we may transform our
overbearing boss into our bullying older brother, or we may
respond to the judgmental co-worker as though she is the
parent who failed to applaud us for our achievements. Your Boss Is Not Your Mother attacks these problems at the
roots. Using real-life stories and anecdotes, it
demonstrates how readers can learn how to respond to people
in the workplace with a clear head. They'll also learn about
how to distinguish a truly abusive boss or co-worker from
one who is actually harmless, how to deal with flirtations
and office romance opportunities, and how to negotiate the
unique and often unexpected dilemmas of dealing with other
women at work. It's full of interactive features-self-tests,
exercises, checklists-designed to help readers explore and
assess their workplace interactions. Your Boss Is Not Your Mother will benefit any woman who
wants to let go of old, negative influences and take charge
of her professional life.
