Résumé du livre
Sally Helgesen is an American author, speaker, and leadership development consultant known for her work in the field of women's leadership and gender diversity in the workplace. She has written numerous books and articles on these topics and is recognized for her contributions to advancing women in leadership roles.
Trying to be perfect, pleasing everyone all the time, and dwelling on past mistakes are barriers that women need to overcome if they want to succeed in their chosen fields. Women can realize their full potential if they develop the confidence to assert themselves more physically, have appropriate social connections at the workplace, and be proud of what they achieve.
The key to getting ahead is to talk less.
Research has shown that women tend to speak more than men. Women, on average, speak 20,000 words per day, while men speak only 7,000. Women's natural talent for gab is a great asset for establishing close relationships but can be problematic in a corporate or male-dominated workplace. The typical male characteristics of concision and succinctness are associated with professionalism and authority in these settings. Thus, women should practice paring down their communications to the minimum and consider in advance what message they wish to convey in order to succeed in these environments.
“When you make a mistake or otherwise find yourself behaving like a human, the best practice is to leave it at the stream. Just lay that burden down and let it go.”
“The point is, your definition of rising is always going to be personal, individual to you. But one of the biggest impediments to rising is also personal and individual: being blind to the behaviors and habits that keep you stuck.”
“It lies in the capacity to be fully present. Present for a task, for a conversation, for the moment, for an opportunity. Present for your larger purpose in the world.”
