Tarzan and Jane: How to Thrive in the New Corporate Jungle by Margot Katz - 2008

Viva Books/Profile Books, 2008. First edition. Softcover. New. How can ‘Janes’ (that is, anyone using a female style) become better leaders? How should ‘Tarzans’ swing through the modern world of work? And how can everyone, whether Tarzans or Janes, balance their work and life? In Tarzan and Jane, Margot Katz draws on her wealth of experience as a board director and consultant at Coca-Cola, Reuters, Toyota and many other international organisations to show how we all need to adapt our styles, not only at work, but in life as well. Here are insights and practical solutions based on four crucial strategies for success: reflecting on values: keeping ahead of the game; expressing a personal brand; and strategic networking. Using revealing interviews with role models from companies including Coutts, Microsoft, BT and Chevron, this entertaining and accessible guide explains exactly what you need in order to thrive in today’s corporate jungle.
