One of my favorite articles, on WomensMedia, is Cheat Sheet for Working Well with Men by Gail Evans who was Executive V.P. of CNN. Gail gives 29 tips for women in business in her article and there’s not a single one that I’d edit out!

If I had to pick my favorite piece of business advice for women—well I will—it’s this one:

Your co-workers are not your family. You don’t pick them and it doesn’t matter who you like or dislike. It may be unpleasant, but you simply have to work with them. You have to be more strategic, listen more, and protect yourself. These are good skills to hone.

I’ve received emails asking for advice on handling difficult women who work with you—particularly the type of women who smile at you and then sabotage you behind your back. My Women in Business Tip of the Week gives you that advice, without resulting in a catfight.
