Story Behind The Book

Reviews

&quot;As a practicing Buddhist, I believe that having compassion for one another on a daily basis is essential for living a dignified life. Daily life includes the workplace. It is up to the leader to set the tone. A workplace where people are inspired, mentored and treated with kindness will always succeed. Patricia Forrester's book, Nice Girls on Top, demonstrates that beautifully. Yes, it's target audience is women, but men, too, can be inspired and learn the important lessons offered in this important and ground-breaking book.&quot; --  <strong>Herbie Hancock</strong>, Award-winning Musician and Composer<br /><br /><span>&quot;In her new book, Nice Girls on Top, TV writer Patricia Forrester conquers an issue female executives struggle with every day - how to be a nice boss without being a pushover.  It's a fine line, and Forrester teaches us to balance gracefully and effectively.&quot;  -- <strong>Alexandra Levit</strong>, Author of New Job, New You: A Guide to Reinventing Yourself in a Bright New Career</span><br /><br />&quot;The first step to getting what you want out of work is being who you want at work.
