HOW WOMEN RISE Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back From Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job

Two veteran leadership experts explain how women's family culture, mental habits as shaped by their communities, and experience with pernicious workplace biases keep them from moving ahead in their careers. Narrator Suzanne Toren adds some sparkle to the journeyman performances of the authors, both sincere teachers. Besides familiar habits like needing to please, perfectionism, reluctance to self-promote, and aversion to competition, the authors discuss the many ways women inhibit their natural ability to see clearly, promote teamwork, and implement creative initiatives. Women leaders, more comfortable than men at sharing hurt, fear, and frustration, too often don't express these feelings to get ahead in cultures that respect only anger and dictatorial certitude. Both subtle and profound, these are must-hear principles for the career-minded woman. T.W. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2018]
