$29.99 AUD

Category: BUSINESS

The co-founder of HGTV shows how women can achieve their career goals using techniques of gamesmanship. New Rules of the Game provides insights, tips and direction to women in business, based on experiences from author and HGTV co-founder Susan Packard's own 30 year career, along with a dozen other prom inent executives. Packard advocates for a revolutionary new perspective for businesswomen, which she calls 'gamesmanship'--a strategic way of thinking that cultivates creativity, focus, optimism, teamwork, and competitiveness. These strategies are seen in the gaming and sports worlds and often among men, but women can utilize these skills as well to learn to: * *compete outwardly instead of inwardly *take loss in stride *provide the emotional distance necessary to succeed at work *think tactically *step up with more grit to get the next win *level the playing field by understanding how male colleagues think and win at work, and *add excitement to their careers. 'When I read Susan Packard's Ten Rules of Gamesmanship, I found many relatable truths. In our family we did not list them as 'rules' but we learned by my mother's example. Difficult balancing acts, like being gracious while staying cool, and showing grit while valuing being likeable to others, and if you fail, learn from it and try again. I live many of Packard's 'rules of gamesmanship' through my mother's wise examples.' Rachael Ray   'Finding comfort competing, the importance of practicing many roles on a team, and the key role that resilience plays - these define a winning spirit. Susan's book will be extremely useful to all women navigating career choices' Margo Georgiadis, President, Americas, Google   'There's no question that business advancement requires passion and a spirit of competition, as well as collaboration.  How women can express this successfully is captured well in Susan Packard's New Rules of the Game.'
