Who is more to blame for the so-called “glass-ceiling”? Women? Or men? Tell us what you think, and share your experience in business.

Coach Deb’s post-boardroom Analysis and Coaching Tips from weeks 12 and 13 of “The Apprentice with Radio Host, Wayne Kelly from KBS Radio

Lessons Learned from The Apprentice TV show (weeks 12 and 13) written by authors at Trump Univerity:

We can learn a lot from a “hindsight” perspective into the successes and failures of this week’s candidates.

Rule #1 in business:
Listen to your customers for what THEY want

Rule #2 in business:
Don’t assume you know what your customers want.

This business rule seems so simple, right?

But far too often, innovative entrepreneurs get in their own way. Or business owners and executives let their egos get in their way, and it costs them clients, sales and profits.

More important than the business lessons learned from this week’s The Apprentice, I’d like to hear from our podcast listeners and readers who have been hurt by the same type of behavior exhibited by Allie and Roxanne last week.

• Have you been the victim of a co-workers jealousy, or gossiping behind your back?
• How prevalant is this problem around the world?

I’m also curious to hear from you…

• Are back-biting, jealousy and “petty behavior” (i.e. negative body language, including rolling eyes, making snide gestures behind someone’s back, gossiping, etc.) problems that only women seem to have? OR
• Do men have to put up with the petty jealousy and vindictiveness that we saw both Allie and Roxanne exhibit as they rolled their eyes, and expressed negative body language toward their team leader, Tammie when they betrayed her in the boardroom?

Get caught up on the full Coaching analysis and re-cap of this week’s episode, (week 12 and 13) from the Influence Code blog highlighting The Apprentice podcast posing the question: Are women more ruthless than men in business?
