Advice for women from women for negotiating their own leadership careers
This is a practical guide for any woman dealing with a demanding role. Drawing
on extensive interviews with women leaders, the authors isolate five key challenges:
Intelligence; Backing; Resources; Buy-In; and Making a Difference. The three expert
authors reveal what women have to teach us about the challenges and opportunities of
leadership. As Tom Peters said of this book, "Women roar . . . . will help individual
women negotiate what they need to success as leaders and help their firms support them in
their efforts. That way we all win!"
- Describes five key actions for leadership success: Drill Deep, Start from
Strength, Assemble the Building Blocks, Gather Momentum, and Make Your Mark
- Filled with prescriptive advice and a wide range of approaches for helping women
with leadership challenges
- Lead authors wrote the The ShadowNegotiation, which was then released in
paperback as Everyday Negotiation
The book includes interviews with high-profile women leaders including Ann
Moore (CEO of Time Inc.), Ann Mulcahy (CEO of Xerox), and Harvard's Rosabeth Moss Kanter.
