Ida O. Abbott, JD speaks directly to men in this timely new book designed to arm them with the tools and perspective they will need to usher professional women into the top ranks of their firms.

Abbott tackles and finishes off all the tough issues: the appearance of impropriety, confusion about the nature of the relationship, management communications, and spouses. But she also clearly describes what is to be done, step-by-step.

“Women need the sponsorship of men, and men owe it to women, not because men are to blame but because they are in control. Otherwise, they limit their firms’ potential for top performance, growth and innovation.” — Ida O. Abbott, J.D.

“While Ida Abbott’s thoughtful book provides a framework to understand the complexities, it is above all a practical book, providing tools that will be useful to managers — men and women — who recognize that advancement and retention of women will benefit their organizations. Helpful to anyone who cares about the issue and is in a position to do something about it.” — Jorge A. del Calvo, Partner, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman
