ABSTRACT
The first lesson that becomes clear after immersion in the processes of choosing women CEOs and managers is that the myriad advice and “how to” books contain at most a kernel of truth. Among the worst are those with a tinge of sexual innuendo, such as Skirt Rules or Seducing the Boys’ Club.3 Use of feminine wiles to clinch a promotion, get help with a key report, or win over a new client, especially for this day and age, is plain bad advice.
