Flirting to Crack Glass Ceilings

Nina DiSesa Advocates Seduction

— September 13, 2008 — Pop Culture
Hillary Clinton may have caused 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling, and Sarah Palin may have made a hole in the ceiling, but being tough and tenacious isn't the only way for a woman to beat the Good Ol' Boy's Club. Nina DiSesa, who is a chairman at McCann Erickson Worldwide and published author, advocates S&M to get to the top: seduction and manipulation.

Mixing up the bad and the good in conversation with male colleagues by saying things like, "You're such a little prick. I don't know why I love you so much," is one of the ways DiSesa says to break into the boy's club.

Nina DiSesa's book, Seducing the Boy's Club, advocated just that--using seduction and manipulation techniques to conquer competitors and win over colleagues.
Trend Themes
1. Seduction in the Workplace - Opportunities for companies to explore the use of seduction and manipulation techniques in the workplace in order to break through traditional gender roles and disparities.

3. Gender Role Disruption - Opportunities to challenge traditional gender roles and expectations in the workplace through the use of alternative approaches to networking, communication, and leadership.

3. Management Consulting - Opportunities for management consultants to assist companies in implementing non-traditional approaches to leadership and management, potentially leading to increased efficiency and effectiveness.
