Requests:  0 Summary:  An essential resource for any working woman, this book is a guide for mastering office politics as a woman. Authored by a mother and daughter team, it offers a multi-generational perspective into the realities of today's workplace. Often women receive messages that they have only themselves to blame for failing to get ahead: Negotiate more! Stop being such a wimp! Stop being such a witch! This book tells women it's not their fault. The simple fact is that office politics often benefits men over women. Based on interviews with 127 successful working women, over half of them women of color, this book presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today's workplace. Distilling over 35 years of research,the authors offer four clear patterns that affect working women: Prove-It-Again!, the Tightrope, the Maternal Wall, and the Tug of War. Each represents different challenges and requires different strategies, which is why women need to be savvier than men to survive and thrive in high-powered careers. Their analysis of working women is nuanced and in-depth, going far beyond the traditional cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approaches of most career guides for women. Throughout the book, they weave real-life anecdotes from the women they interviewed, along with quick kernels of advice like a "New Girl Action Plan," ways to "Take Care of Yourself", and even "Comeback Lines" for dealing with sexual harassment and other difficult situations.--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 650.13082 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 650.13082 Williams Checked In Add Copy to MyList
