With 46 years of experience in the retail industry, I have witnessed significant changes and challenges. As a female manager in a predominantly male-dominated field, I faced numerous obstacles in climbing the management ladder. This book offers an in-depth review of the retail industry's inner workings and serves as a cautionary tale for women considering a career in retail management. Despite being fair, understanding, and treating others with respect, the path to management remains difficult for women. Not everyone adheres to policies and procedures, making it a tough environment to navigate.
