⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the idea... but only ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the book itself. Patronizing, redundant, bereft of almost any stories or vignettes, the content could easily be summed-up in a mid-length article (which would have taken less time). Although some useful nuggets are there, the authors seem to fall (ironically) prey to their stated need for women's perspectives and leadership in the workplace, as this book offers very few of the stories and personal experiences that I would have hoped to hear in pursuing greater knowledge of effective cross-gender mentoring relationships.
