In The Intuitive Businesswoman, Judy George and Todd Lyon show how understanding your inner Visionary, Artisan, Idealist, and/or Adventurer can help you achieve career wellness. After taking the lively Intuitive Quiz, discover which personality archetype, or combination of types, best represents you and start learning how to handle stress, relate to other personalities, and find success in the workplace. Along the way you'll find which style your colleagues, employees, and boss favor--thus enabling you to optimize your working relationships. Throughout the book, Judy and Todd use real-life observations and a witty perspective to demystify the personalities that fill the working world, and illustrate how everyone can find a path that suits her truest self.
Through in-depth interviews, the Intuitive System plays out in the real-life success stories of Ann Moore, president of People, Inc.; Rose Marie Bravo, CEO of Burberry; Shelly Lazarus, CEO of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide; and many others. The Intuitive Businesswoman also looks back in history to such remarkable women as Josephine Baker (Adventurer), Laura Ashley (Artisan), and Grace Hopper (Idealist). Sections range from "Intuitive Financing" to "Playing Well with Others," and each chapter is peppered with fun sidebars that target each Intuitive type.
Whether you're in search of fulfillment, a raise, more free time, a friendlier work environment, a new career, or your own corner office, The Intuitive Businesswoman is an essential guide to making your personality work for you.Have you ever wondered how your colleague can wear an oversized, flower-print linen dress to meetings, when you feel your exceptionally pulled-together look is as important as a pulled-together presentation? Or why she seems eager to treat her support staff as though they were her children, while you keep personal friendships and conversations firmly where they belong--at home? Well, look at it this way: perhaps you're intuitively a Visionary and, by nature, she's got a sizable dollop of the Artisan in her. This may not convince you she's not slightly loopy, but it will, according to the authors of The Intuitive Businesswoman, provide you with empowering insights into what you do best and what you'd be smart to leave to others.
Before you settle down to read, get out a pen and determine if you're predominantly a Visionary, an Artisan, an Idealist, or an Adventurer--the four archetypal personalities that Judy George and Todd Lyon describe, illustrate, and comment upon in this upbeat, informative book. The archetype quiz they provide is short, easy, and contemporary, and above all, more fun than the role-defining career tests we all took in high school. Don't expect to be neatly defined by one grouping; the authors don't expect you to be such an uncomplicated being, either. What they do suggest, however, is that in discovering the characteristics of a typical Visionary, for instance, and reading the stories of other Visionaries, both famous (like Elizabeth Arden) and not-so-famous (such as a literary agent who loves her job because of the "thrill of the hunt"), you'll soon be able to identify your truest type. This will then enable you to cherry pick from the advice the authors provide on matters such as managing your finances and your approach to money, interrelating with others at work, changing jobs or careers, starting a business of your own, and volunteering your time and money. Loaded with juicy informational sidebars and quirky quotes from all over the place, this book is not only a productive tool but a fun read. --S. Ketchum
