early
acclaim for If You've Raised
Kids, You can Manage Anything
"Ann Crittenden’s persuasive book...should quell the idea that parenting
is a drawback for work success."
The Boston Sunday Globe
"In her winning follow-up to The
Price of Motherhood, Crittenden
explores a simple, powerful idea:
Being a mommy is great training
for being a manager....Most welcome
among Crittenden’s arguments,
perhaps, is the idea that being
a mother makes us more open to
creative thinking at work."
People
"[Crittenden] is promoting a new
kind of diversity, and the creative
jump-start diversity brings to
any company."
The Baltimore
Sun
"[Crittenden] adeptly supports
the argument that what it takes
to manage people successfully boils
down to the same set of skills
whether the person you’re
supervising is age forty-two or
two."
USA Today
"Crittenden offers an engaging
look at working mothers and how
their parenting skills make them
more adept managers. Based on interviews
with 100 parents (mostly women)
who were the primary caregivers
in their family, the book offers
an intriguing look at the changing
face of American executives.....The
book's theme is positive and its
message inspiring. No doubt, the book will
generate buzz...."
Publisher's Weekly
"I love this book. On every page there
are words of true wisdom from Ann
Crittenden and from other well-known
figures that are worthy of being displayed
on posters, refrigerators, office
walls—everywhere. In this
book, Ann Crittenden amplifies
her message in The Price of Motherhood —that parenting and that caring for
others are pursuits worthy of the
highest societal value. Here she goes
further to point out the essential
skills gained in these roles and in
doing so, she bypasses the “divide”
between work and family, revealing
how these roles can and do complement
and enhance each other."
