Dearest Amanda--: An Executive's Advice to Her Daughter

This is an excellent resource for women who are just starting out in management and don't know what to expect or how to act in that capacity. The "letters-from-your-mom" format makes it a quick and easy read, yet packed with useful knowledge, insight, and foresight. Even though this book is out-of-print, it is well worth the wait. The author, Eliza G. C. Collins, has a warm and compassionate writing style, and is not overbearing or dogmatic in her approach. Ms. Collins has done a great job of identifying the thoughts of women executives and aiding them in their quest for excellence.
