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 refletions, practical advice, and humorous anecdotes, Changing the Corporate Landscape champions women who are developing their own leadership skills and facilitating the development of others. It exploes compelling issues faced by women in every industry of business, including: *Style *The Imposter Syndrome *Risk-Taking *Being Organizationally Savvy *Maintaining and Developing Strategic Alliances *Effective Communication and Listening Written to help women succeed in business, Changing the Corporate Landscape is also a useful tool for men who are responsible for developing women in the workplace.
