The most frequent response women have to How Women Rise since its first day of publication has been: “That describes me! This is exactly what I do!”
As we seek to rise to the next level, we may find that the habits that made us successful no longer serve us. Yet we remain loyal to these habits because they have served us in the past. In How Women Rise, Sally partners with coaching legend Marshall Goldsmith to identify the behaviors most likely to undermine talented women.
These behaviors include:
- Reluctance to Claim Your Achievements
- Expecting Others to Spontaneously Notice and Reward Your Hard Work
- Overvaluing Expertise
- Building Rather than Leveraging Relationships
- Failing to Enlist Allies from Day One
- Putting Your Job Before Your Career
- The Disease to Please
- The Desire to be Perfect
- Minimizing
- Too Much
- Ruminating
- Letting Your Radar Distract You
Sally and Marshall not only identify the behaviors most likely to hold women back, they offer practical solutions. Both the habits and their solutions cut across culture. Which is why rights have sold in 24 languages. And they often apply to women at every level.
How Women Rise has been a popular selection for women’s book clubs around the world. Here’s a handy book club discussion guide for How Women Rise.
