The Corporate Dominatrix exposes the workplace for what it
truly is: a social sadomasochistic wonderland -- one in
which some people have power and some do not, thus creating
an unbalanced command-and-control dynamic. Using the
psychological tools of the professional dominatrix, Lisa
Robyn shows women how to role-play their way to success by
employing the tactics of six mistress archetypes: Goddess,
Queen, Amazon, Governess, Nurse, and Schoolgirl. For a
dominatrix in everyday life, the key to effectiveness lies
in being switchable -- knowing when to be firm and direct
and when to be flexible and accommodating. The Corporate
Dominatrix dominates without being domineering and is
submissive without being subservient. She stands up for her
rights in an open and straightforward way, and she is
confident enough to intuit what her clients or colleagues
want and she responds accordingly. Robyn provides a compelling strategy for women to get their
way at work by choosing the appropriate role to fit the
particular situation, while always behaving in a
professional manner that earns respect. Filled with examples
and practical tips, this provocative business book will help
every businesswoman advance to the position she wants and
truly become the mistress of her domain. Power becomes you . . . Use it wisely.
