 Before you were told to "Lean In," Dr. Lois Frankel told you how to get that corner office.

The New York Times bestseller, is now completely revised and updated. In this edition, internationally recognized executive coach Lois P. Frankel reveals a distinctive set of behaviors--over 130 in all--that women learn in girlhood that ultimately sabotage them as adults.
She teaches you how to eliminate these unconscious mistakes that could be holding you back and offers invaluable coaching tips that can easily be incorporated into your social and business skills. Stop making "nice girl" errors that can become career pitfalls, such as:

Mistake #13: Avoiding office politics. If you don't play the game, you can't possibly win.
Mistake #21: Multi-tasking. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it.
Mistake #54: Failure to negotiate. Don't equate negotiation with confrontation.
Mistake #70: Inappropriate use of social media. Once it's out there, it's hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Mistake #82: Asking permission. Children, not adults, ask for approval. Be direct, be confident. Business Ethics Career Success Motivation & Self-Improvement Personal Development Personal Success Women in Business Workplace & Organisational Behavior Business Career

Enjoyed listening to the book but some topics are outdated. Especially around grooming and dresscodes

Good tips but outdated on certain topics

There’s some useful hard truths in this book about what people perceive, but I do worry it perpetuates the belief women need to change how they behave and appear rather than truly educating everyone to value difference in a modern, inclusive way. Definitely one to pick carefully which things you take forward.

Quite old fashioned in a few respects

Overall a pretty good book and worth the read. There is some really sound advice contained in it. Can't say I agreed with absolutely all the points she raised. There were a few moments when I felt like the author was a bit of a woman-basher. It would have been helpful to get a bit more of a balanced view on the things successful women do well as opposed to stressing how pathetic women are in comparison to men.

It should be re-titled: "Tough Love"
