Do you put in long hours and enormous effort for your job, but feel a growing dissatisfaction with it? Do you feel strongly committed to your company, but the company never recognizes or rewards you for all your labor? Smart Women Smart Moves will lead you through a journey of discovery and help you find the power to gain control of your work . . . and your life. Vanessa Weaver and Jan Hill - both former executives at a major company who rose through the ranks and now run their own small businesses - offer a provocative new model for career assessment. Their model takes the five types of relationships a woman has in her personal life and applies them to her work life. Understanding whether you are just "dating" - or are "girlfriend," "mistress," "fiancee," or "spouse" to your company - will help you assess how you really feel about your company and whether your company is committed to you. For instance, you may think you are in a long-term relationship, when in fact to the company you are just a convenient "date." Using this concept as a metaphor, the authors show how to identify which stage of the work relationship you're in; view this relationship from the company's perspective; recognize signs of a relationship at risk; explore your true goals in light of mutual values, beliefs, and principles; determine when to stay in a troubled work relationship that can be improved; decide when to look for a more fulfilling partnership elsewhere; and apply the ten Smart Moves that can usher you into a new stage. Throughout the book, you'll find ample opportunities to interpret your feelings and thoughts. There are plenty of quizzes, visualization exercises, and other tools for self-assessment, as well as real-life stories that offer instruction and inspiration. Weaver and Hill don't espouse "one right way" to live, work, or make decisions. Instead they encourage you to choose that which works for you. With their guidance you can assess your situation more accurately, bid farewell to career indecision, and join the ranks of smart women making smart moves.
