Former drug agent has got Sarah Palin’s back…
This press release about a new book just crossed my desk:
“Author June Werdlow Rogers, PhD, is employing an empathetic yet straightforward approach in revealing to Sarah Palin that she was one of the people discussed in her new book, “Cracking the Double Standard Code,” A Guide to Successful Navigation in the Workplace. Werdlow Rogers plans to send one of the first books hot off the press of Cable Publishing to Palin. It is her hope that, unlike her reactions to author Joe McGinniss, Palin will recognize Werdlow Rogers’ motives as sincere.
It was unnecessary for a move next door to Palin to observe, as “Cracking the Double Standard Code” acknowledges, that a primary challenge for Palin during the 2008 presidential campaign was facing the double standard that women leaders routinely encounter. The central question posed in the chapter that discusses Sarah Palin’s VP Campaign and Governorship is just how well she dealt with the many obstacles and pitfalls that she encountered. Werdlow Rogers’ states, “I relish the possibility of Palin’s awareness and understanding of The Code to become a better leader.”
In “Cracking the Double Standard Code,” the author, a retired Special Agent in Charge for the DEA, has brought to light a shadowy code of conduct imposed on women leaders, and it turns out that her undercover work was not limited to bad guys: She was also amassing a wealth of evidence about how women leaders are treated and perceived differently in male-dominated environments such as the DEA. June’s twenty five years of investigating and leading, together with a social scientist’s approach originating from her doctorial pursuit, created the unique combination of skills used to uncover this strict pattern of behavior expected of women leaders. In finding ways to survive and thrive in this relatively hostile atmosphere, her reward for successful navigation was a trek to the top.
To help others, June holds nothing back in tackling thorny subjects like gender stereotypes surrounding PMS, menopause, and cat-fighting. Employing a relaxed and colorful conversational tone, this frank and dynamic commentary’s targeted audience is women leaders and those who mentor them about how to succeed. With provocative titles like Her Faults Are in High Definition, What a Woman Says is Fair Game to Kill or Steal, and Give Her the Post-Partum Blues, each chapter first presents evidence of the standard imposed through captivating anecdotes and then provides powerful advice for successful navigation.”
Which begs the question; is Sarah Palin a feminist?
