Synopsis

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 prominent 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
• Add excitement to their careers

Goodreads review by Sylvia on October 01, 2015

There's similarity between the book and 'Lean-In', which I like. Both are about women in workplace and how we should behave/act, taking advantage of our feminine power, to climb up the ladder in male-dominated workplace. Both authors of the book had some unpleasant experience (one was divorced at th......more

This book covers many aspects of the experience of a women’s professional life, that can’t be fully touched on in short-form articles. It’s useful and insightful. Reading this has been worthwhile, leaving me equiped with a foundation of my approach to relatable situations. Many men would also benefi......more

This is the book that started my interest in self-help. It was easy to read, not too heavy and quite entertaining - felt like a senior colleague sharing things with you over coffee break.......more
