Her Place at the Table: A Woman's Guide to Negotiating Five Key ChallengesUpplaga 1

A blueprint for success for women leaders Through interviews with over 100 women in leadership positions, the authors offer an action plan for negotiating the leadership challenges women face in their careers. The authors also provide a list of "to-dos" and practical advice to help women master each challenge, identifying five key actions for success: Drill Deep, Start from Strength, Assemble the Building Blocks, Gather Momentum, and Make Your Mark. Each chapter contains a case study of women leaders across a broad spectrum–corporations, educational institutions, and nonprofits–and includes such luminaries as Ann Moore of Time Inc., Anne Mulcahy of Xerox, and many others.
