This book is about the challenges women face when they have interpersonal clashes with female coworkers based on mutual dislike or differences in personal style, attitudes, or preferences. The many conversations that were held with women across the U.S. illustrate why women often find it so difficult to properly handle these types of disputes, and the actions they believe are necessary to resolve them effectively. This book presents women's personal stories in their own words about challenging interpersonal conflicts with female coworkers, how they handled the situation, and the lessons they learned.

Women's ability to resolve tough interpersonal conflicts with other women at work is crucial. Why? Because research has shown that people tend to believe that women's interpersonal conflicts with female coworkers are more problematic than those of men with male coworkers. As a result, that creates the general perception that women do not work well together.

In their personal stories, women share their top dos, don'ts, and constructive tips for dealing with interpersonal conflicts with female coworkers. Thanks to the many in-depth conversations with women across the U.S., this book offers an effective model consisting of key steps that women believe are necessary to successfully resolve interpersonal conflicts. By using the conflict resolution model that evolved from the research conducted for this book, women can ensure that both they and their colleagues feel heard, no grudges will be held, and the conflict will be over for good. Not only does this model work for women, but it can also work for anyone.
