Stratego® for women
by Monic Bührs and Elisa de Groot
Stratego® is a game of attack and defence, of tension and surprise. Those who want to play that game will need to thoroughly understand their opponent.
The same rules of the game also apply if you want to be successful at work. If you want to use this game to climb higher up the promotional ladder, you will need to have a good understanding of the field of influence in which you find yourself, and, most importantly, be familiar with the unwritten rules to choose the most effective form of attack or defence well ahead of time. And that, for so many women, is exactly the stumbling block. They are often unaware of the rules of the strategic game played within – male-dominated – organisations.
Stratego® for Women throws light on the unwritten rules of the work environment and shows how women can operate within them in an astute, goal-oriented manner. This book teaches you how to play ‘the game’ strategically and provides answers to questions such as:
- How do I analyse a field of influence?
- What strategy should I choose?
- How can I negotiate effectively?
- How can I profile and position myself more effectively?
The authors have combined exhaustive research of the scientific literature with their own experiences from business practice.

The unwritten rules to boost your career
by Monic Bührs and Elisa de Groot
Women and men tend to play the ‘working-game’ differently. And many times that leads to confusion and irritations. Because why are your female co-workers so modest? Why don’t they negotiate for themselves? Why don’t they work on their visibility?
In this management E-book, Elisa and Monic describe the 15 most important unwritten rules in organizations and how both men and women respond to them differently. Clear, to the point and not too seriously. Not to make these differences invisible but to show how to deal with these rules effectively. If you are aware of the effect of these unwritten masculine and feminine rules and you use them in the right way, you will gain much better results.
Are you curious about these 15 unwritten feminine and masculine rules? Then read ‘The unwritten rules to boost your career’.
