The "Guide to Managing Women" gives men at your office insight into the tragically intelligent, complex and multifaceted ways of the working woman. Leave this anywhere men might find it.
DON'T RETIRE – REWIRE
As baby boomer women begin to reach retirement, many reach a shocking conclusion – they don't want to. Instead, they are reinventing themselves with exciting new careers to live and work longer – much longer.
YOU SAY YOU WANT A (VALUES) REVOLUTION
Values are for a company what religions are for cultures. Joey Reiman, CEO of BrightHouse, a consultancy firm which has helped companies like Pepperidge Farm, Delta and PINK define their corporate values (PINK's are courage, beauty and freedom), shows why values count today, drive the bottom line and have become a corporate imperative.
WORK AT PLAY
It isn't easy for women to get away while keeping business in full swing. For many high-powered execs, the most difficult part of the holiday vacation is actually leaving the building. But studies show that well-rested, fresh employees are more productive and efficient than those who never take time off. Women at the top share what works – so they don't have to.
MOMS VS. NON-MOMS
Do mothers get a pass to spend time with family while non-moms work overtime? Moms and non-moms have been pitted against each other for decades. But PINK talks to two women who duke it out – and agree on more than they think.
PINK-SLIPPED
Who gets this issue's PINK Slip? Pfizer, Inc., the world's largest pharmaceutical and biotech company, shares its slap on the wrist with counterparts GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Roche and Amgen. Find out why.
