Man Up: How To Stay A Lady But Act Like A Man On The Job

There’s No Crying In Business

I worked with one highly successful woman who has head of a major publication. She would come out of meetings with the publisher and ad reps flustered. She’d lock herself in her office and cry. The men, however, would come out smiling, joking, talking about their weekend plans. They were able to leave the heated discussions in the room, while my editor carried them with her throughout the day.

But if you do get emotional, do it in private where no one, not even other women, can see. You want to convey authority and calm.
