Library Journal has published the first review of Naked in the Boardroom, and it's a good one!
"It's hard not to expect some interesting twists in a career advice book written by a former Penthouse copywriter. Wolaner, publishing guru and founder of Parenting magazine, doesn't offer anything salacious here, but she does deliver 81 naked truths to help women capitalize on their gender while making good in the workplace. She generously shares her own career steps and missteps and provides the lowdown from the boardroom, bedroom, and cubicle. The real-life lessons on career planning (don't lock yourself into a plan), negotiation, mentoring, antimentoring (don't emulate rotten managers), business ethics, recovering from mistakes, and hiring and firing are sometimes harrowing but always educational. Interviews with other high-profile executives reinforce Wolaner's experiences. She tells how her personal life intersected and sometimes interfered with her work, a situation that will ring true for many women juggling multiple roles (Naked Truth #68, "No one is a fully competent working mother")."
