Politics & Society

Ask For It

Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever

Women often face societal pressures that influence their sense of control, leading to a mindset where they accept circumstances rather than challenge them—an issue that manifests in the workplace, particularly in salary negotiations. Research highlights that women are less likely than men to advocate for raises, often relying on employers to determine their value, which perpetuates inequities. Shifting this perspective requires developing negotiation skills and focusing on mutual interests rather than solely personal goals. By understanding the other party’s priorities, preparing thoroughly, and maintaining patience and composure, individuals can achieve more favorable outcomes. These strategies, rooted in collaboration and careful planning, pave the way for effective and empowering negotiations.
