Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office

Résumé du livre

Lois P. Frankel is an internationally recognized women’s leadership expert. After the widespread success of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office, she followed up the topic with Nice Girls Don't Get Rich and Nice Girls Just Don't Get It (with co-author Carol Frohlinger) – and all of them were international bestsellers.

Indecisiveness in personal life may seem harmless, but in the professional realm, it can signal hesitation or incompetence, particularly when decision-making is a key responsibility. Women often face societal conditioning that discourages assertiveness and competitiveness, starting from childhood through gendered expectations and reinforced by adult stereotypes. These norms can undermine confidence, leading to behaviors like excessive self-doubt, minimizing achievements, or adopting submissive body language, all of which hinder leadership potential. Additionally, overt femininity, such as frequent smiling or playful appearances, can detract from authority and professionalism. Networking and sponsorship are crucial for career advancement, yet many women hesitate to leverage relationships or seek advocates, which limits their opportunities for promotion. Overworking without strategic focus on high-impact tasks or neglecting social connections can also stall career growth, as success requires both excellence in work and visibility through networking. Recognizing and addressing these patterns is essential for women aiming to break through professional barriers.
