NEW RULES OF THE GAME

Susan Packard

10 Strategies for Women in the Workplace

In this unique, timely take on business strategy, the co-founder of HGTV incorporates concepts of gaming and sports to give women a new game plan to succeed in a male-dominated business setting – and to get off the sidelines and get into the game!

New Rules of the Game provides insights, tips and direction to women in business, based on experiences from author and HGTV co-founder Susan Packard's own 30 year career, along with a dozen other prominent executives. Packard advocates for a revolutionary new perspective for businesswomen, which she calls “gamesmanship" --- a strategic way of thinking that cultivates creativity, focus, optimism, teamwork, and competitiveness. These strategies are seen in the gaming and sports worlds and often among men, but women can utilize these skills as well to learn to:

• compete outwardly instead of inwardly
• take loss in stride
• provide the emotional distance necessary to succeed at work
• think tactically • step up with more grit to get the next win
• level the playing field by understanding how male colleagues think and win at work, and
• add excitement to their careers.

Susan Packard is the co-founder of Scripps Networks Interactive and former chief operating officer of HGTV.

When I read Susan Packard's Ten Rules of Gamesmanship, I found many relatable truths. In our family we did not list them as 'rules' but we learned by my mother's example. Difficult balancing acts, like being gracious while staying cool, and showing grit while valuing being likeable to others, and if you fail, learn from it and try again. I live many of Packard's 'rules of gamesmanship' through my mother's wise examples.
