Book Synopsis
Why does one co-worker become a best friend while another becomes a bitter enemy? Why is one workplace relationship congenial, another adversarial? More than a book about how to get along with difficult people. A Woman and Her Workplace shows you how to allow God to transform your heart so His love and care will flow through you to the people you work alongside. In it, you will learn to recognize and stand against attitudes that wreak havoc on workplace relationships and replace them with the strong biblical principles of humility, integrity, forgiveness, grace, and celebration. Rosemary Flaaten parallels the challenges women face in the workplace today with those of Esther, a woman who was equal to the challenge of the job God gave her.
Regardless of what kind of work you do to your level of authority, you have the potential to take your workplace experience from drudgery to delight. (Publisher Description)
Review
A very well written practical guide to help the working woman get along with other women as well as co-workers and people in general. I think this can help all women even the ones who aren't working and find themselves with small groups, volunteer situations or school PTA type things. Its easy to get wrapped up in gossip, scandal and behavior that can distract you from your work and Flaaten gives great advice and scripture to back up being a successful working woman.
3.5/5- Self Help

I like the idea of this book. It promotes ways to make a happier work environment which will lead to a more productive workplace. It will also promote solidarity between female workers to help them achieve a better workplace for women as a whole.

I reviewed the book too, and you make a good point about it being applicable to any women in an organizational setting.
