Recently Penelope Trunk stirred up debate on BNET by
offering three
terrible pieces of career advice women give each other. Among them:
learn to be a good leader from business books. She argues that most

But instead of complaining about terrible female-to-female tips, she has compiled a book of successful women’s best advice to up-and-coming female strivers.
Writing on blog The Glass Hammer, Rezvani goes into detail, offering a distillation of top businesswomen’s advice on one area in which women sometimes struggle — negotiating. Here are her five tips to help young women overcome their jitters and become master negotiators.
