Changing the Corporate Landscape: A Woman's Guide to Cultivating Leadership Excellence

By Jean Otte

Book Overview

During her more than 40 years in the corporate world, Jean Otte has drawn a parallel between gardening and human development. The same principles used to develop gardens and understand the growth of plants apply to the development of people. Organizations that apply those principles flourish in the same manner that gardens thrive. In Changing the Corporate Landscape, Jean draws from her corporate and gardening experiences, as well as those of executive women and men at such diverse Fortune 500 companies as American Express, Bank of America, IBM, Microsoft, Pfizer, Prudential, and Raytheon. Through personal reflections, practical advice, and humorous antidotes, Changing the Corporate Landscape champions women who are developing their own leadership skills and facilitating the development of others.

Customer Reviews

Finally an excellent book with no fluff!

I am thrilled to be attending the Women Unlimited program very soon so reading a book that talks about the fabulous coaching and learning the program offers, as well as the founder's perspective on how this came about, has made the anticipated journey a lot more special. The book talks about much of what you may already know, in a new light, and with putting the right context around it. Read it on two plane rides from west to east and recommend it highly.

A must-have book for women in business

This is real! Changing the Corporate Landscape isn't just another book based on theory. It offers real examples and allowed me to learn how other women have handled different situations in business. The author did a wonderful job!
