Nina DiSesa Book order

Forty years post-feminist revolution, fewer than 2 percent of Fortune 1000 CEOs are women, highlighting an uneven playing field. Nina DiSesa, former chairman of a leading advertising agency, offers a candid perspective on thriving in a male-dominated business environment. A master communicator and successful corporate leader, DiSesa reveals that seduction and manipulation are key to surpassing male colleagues—not by adhering to traditional business school rules. By adopting various roles—den mother, fraternity brother, little sister, and hard-nosed boss—DiSesa navigates the challenges of a macho workplace, sharing humorous and cautionary tales from her experiences with "bad boys." She emphasizes the importance of blending feminine traits like nurturing and compassion with masculine qualities such as competitiveness and decisiveness to broaden professional opportunities. Her practical and sometimes controversial maxims include appreciating men, recognizing women's inherent potential for success, tackling challenges head-on, and crafting one’s own rules. DiSesa's insights provide women with the confidence and attitude needed to ascend in their careers while maintaining integrity. This book is a valuable read for both women and men, offering insights that can empower anyone navigating the complexities of the workplace.

Fact #1: Forty years after the feminist revolution, fewer than 2 percent of Fortune 1000 CEOs are women. Fact #2: The playing field is not level. Fact #3: You need to get over this. Chairman of the flagship office of the largest advertising agency network in the world, Nina DiSesa is a master communicator, a ceiling crasher, and a big-time realist. In Seducing the Boys Club, DiSesa shows you how S&M–seduction and manipulation–is the secret to winning over (and surpassing) the big guys. She asserts that women need to meld their “female” characteristics (nurturing, compassion, intuition) with “male” traits (decisiveness, focus, confidence, humor) to expand their professional horizons. DiSesa also shares her practical, outrageous, and even controversial maxims for making it, including • Learn to appreciate men. Men like women who like them. • Remember that women are biologically wired to succeed. • If you want to make a name for yourself, find a mess and fix it. A secure and comfortable job only holds you back. • Act brave and you will look brave. • Screw the rules. Make up your own. Whether dead-on funny or deadly serious, DiSesa is always on her game, always on message, and absolutely on target as she arms women (men, too!) with the can-do confidence and no-compromises attitude they need to climb as high as their ambition can carry them–while keeping their standards impeccable and their integrity intact.
