Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

In the vein of #Girlboss and Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, discover how to thrive at work from the head of the Global Innovation Coalition for Change at UN Women with this passionate, practical roadmap for addressing inequality and finally making our workplaces work for women (Arianna Huffington). For years, we've been telling women that in order to succeed at work, they have to change themselves first--lean in, negotiate like a man, don't act too nice or you'll never get the corner office. But after sixteen years working with major Fortune 500 companies as a gender equality expert, Michelle King has realized one simple truth--the tired advice of fixing women doesn't fix anything. The truth is that workplaces are gendered; they were designed by men for men. Because of this, most organizations unconsciously carry the idea of an ideal worker, typically a straight, white man who doesn't have to juggle work and family commitments. Based on King's research and exclusive interviews with major companies and thought leaders, It's Not You, It's Your Workplace reveals why denying the fact that women are held back just because they are women--what she calls gender denial--is the biggest obstacle holding women back at work and outlines the hidden sexism and invisible barriers women encounter at work every day. Women who speak up are seen as pushy. Women who ask for a raise are seen as difficult. Women who spend hours networking don't get the same career benefits as men do. Because women don't look like the ideal worker and can't behave like the ideal worker, they are passed over for promotions, paid less, and pushed out of the workforce, not because they aren't good enough, but because they aren't men. In this fascinating and empowering book, King outlines the invisible barriers that hold women back at all stages of their careers, and provides readers with a clear set of takeaways to thrive despite the sexist workplace, as they fight for change from within. Gender equality is not about women, and it is not about men--it is about making workplaces work for everyone. Together, we can fix work, not women.…
