Critic reviews

Really practical . . . guidance on the habits you fall into that aren’t helping you achieve the success you deserve. It’s fascinating. (Lorraine Candy)
Sally Helgesen, the world’s premier expert on women’s leadership, wants women to get out of their own way . . . How Women Rise, co-authored with leadership expert Marshall Goldsmith, examines the behaviours most likely to get in the way of women rising in their careers.
How Women Rise is a great read for any woman who wants to identify self-defeating behaviors that are holding her back, gain insight into why she engages in those behaviors, and develop skills to confidently achieve her goals. (Lois P. Frankel, author of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office)
Sally and Marshall give new meaning to the term ‘dream team’. Together they have produced a masterpiece, an over-the-moon but magnificently down-to-earth leadership book for the ages. (Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence)
Dr Marshall Goldsmith is considered as one of the best leadership thinkers and executive coaches in the world.
Abounds with positive energy . . . A concise, upbeat guide for women who have grown bored or impatient with their positions as well as for those new to the professional world and its leadership roles.
A smart and well-researched handbook for women trying to make the next step in their careers.
If you could have dinner with any living person, who would it be? My answer has long been the same: Marshall Goldsmith. He’s a celebrated author. He’s considered one of the world’s leading executive coaches. And he’s very much inspired my own coaching career.
A counterintuitive collection of the 12 most common habits holding back women at work . . . I recommend reading the whole book.
A great resource to discover the 12 habits that hold women back and how to overcome them . . . Goldsmith is a bestselling author [and] pre-eminent executive coach . . . Helgesen is a leading authority in women’s leadership.

In 2022 there are an increasing number of books that are written for women and by women (partially true in this case). I might have partially identified with the context or the author's personality, but the amount of insight and overlap is refreshing, compared to the amount of energy I needed to input to draw personalized knowledge from male-focused books.

I liked the book. I've found myself 'guilty' of many of the 12 habits exposed. Acknowledgment is the first step in producing change. It is not a 'perfect' book, but there are perspectives that didn't cross my mind before.

Good insights on leadership roles
