Chatham resident Sally Helgesen, whose latest book, The Female Vision: Women's Real Power in the Workplace, published just last week and already #2 on Amazon's Business and Leadership list, had a reading and signing at the Chatham Bookstore on Saturday, June 19. Helgesen's selection dealt with the financial meltdown of 2008, and the win-short-term-at-any-cost ethic that effectively barred all women (and the kind of men) who are prone to look at the big, long-term picture from leadership roles in the hedge fund and banking industries.
