About the Book

There's a legion of ambitious twenty-something women entering management positions who may not have the time or inclination to read a traditional business book but need some pointers on how to cope with their new roles. This unique book is aimed right at their designer-clad hearts. Styled as a novel, it follows a young woman called Julia who is parachuted into management and learns the hard way how to behave like a team leader. Julia Kennedy is a young woman working for a large company. When her boyfriend suddenly ends their relationship she takes a hard look at her life and decides to concentrate on her career and promotion, which would involve leading her co-workers. The book follows Julia as she discovers: how to lead people who were her peers; how to run a good meeting; how to write a budget . and what to do when you wake up the morning after office drinkies and think you might have slept with the office romeo. With break-out boxes focusing on strategies and lessons learned, 'Julia Makes Her Move' is a perfectly targeted and innovative approach to teaching basic leadership skills and is ideal for young women wanting to develop their careers as well as older women returning to the workforce.
