For decades women have struggled to find parity in the workplace. They have studied the "boys rules".
They have even learned to play golf and speak sports lingo. The problem is that if you are always trying to play somebody
else's game, you will always be playing catch-up.
The one rule of business we women have not yet learned and embraced is that women must play on the same team. We must
be each other's greatest support, not see each other only as competition. This is not about us versus them, this is about
ending the game of us versus us. Women need to come to understand that every woman's success is their success. To truly succeed
in business, women need to evolve from the world of "I can do it" to the world of "we can do it."
Love the Game...With those words Gail Evans concludes one of the most successful and influential books about women in the workplace.
Ironically, many women did not even know the game existed before Evans taught them how to win in the workplace with
her book Play Like A Man, Win Like A Woman.
The book was listed for several months on the New York Times, Business Week, and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
Play Like A Man, Win Like A Woman has been translated into 18 languages and has been a bestseller around the world.
When it comes to the success of women in the workplace, Evans is a leading source. She has appeared on The Today Show and
Larry King Live, and has been featured in The New York Times and USA Today.
Evans' status has been enhanced by her newest book, She Wins, You Win as well as her weekly radio segment "It's
Not Just A Man's World," which is syndicated to 1900 CNN Radio affiliates across the United States. She has spoken and given
lectures to many of the world's leading companies including GE, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, KPMG, BellSouth,
The Southern Company, and Scana Energy. Evans is currently an associate professor at Georgia Tech's School of Management.
Her business advice columns appear in Worthwhile and PINK Magazines.
Where did Gail Evans learn the business game? In the male-dominated world of television journalism. She began working
at CNN at its inception in 1980. By the time she retired in 2001, she was its Executive Vice President. During that time she
was responsible for program and talent development at all CNN's domestic networks overseeing national and international talk
shows and the Network Guest Bookings Department, which schedules about 25,000 guests each year. She retired from CNN after
21 years in 2001.
