NICE GIRLS DON'T GET THE CORNER OFFICE 10th Anniversary Edition

The clarity and earnestness in the author’s voice propel her message that women are still treated differently from men in the workplace. Her efforts to use good diction may sound obvious from time to time, but her palpable sincerity is a good vehicle for the message that thoughtful adjustments in a woman’s workplace behavior can open doors, squash negative expectations, and break through glass ceilings. This update to her 2000 book lists more than 130 mistakes women make—deferential, inhibited styles of interacting prescribed by company cultures, the media, and even families and spouses. With concise writing and her diligent delivery, this is a powerful lesson on how women can go after what is theirs without acting like men or feeling like they’re taking something away from others.
