Maybe this book and this attitude works in some corporations, but I believe you can be a successful woman without completely erasing your feminine personality to act more like a man. In fact, taking too long to make a decision can be detrimental to your company in scenarios in which a quick decision must be made. Remember that when people are angry/annoyed at you, it might be because they're trying to get you to do something that they want/act a certain way.

This book will help women to become aware of when and how they are damaging their career and it will give them the advice and tips they need to help replace these self-defeating behaviors with more effective ones - and finally claim the corner office they so richly deserve. In reality, asking legitimate questions shows that you are ensuring your understanding, which is a sign of confidence rather than ignorance. Her advice stems from a different generation and different time, its very clear she hasnt updated herself or views since the shoulder pads and powersuit era.Many of us, who come from homes that were supportive and definitely didn't pigeonhold us into the subservient female role, would never imagine how much we have picked up from the social cues and trends around us. If you view your boss in this way, you are hindering yourself from building an independent, objective relationship with him. Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again. For a start she has you take a 49 question quiz, which can determine which of the eight areas are your strong and weak points. I think it's fine when you're trying to decide where to meet for dinner or what to wear, but professionally, it shows that you can't make a decision.

Obviously, if something is heinously wrong, tell someone, but you need to weigh the benefit of pointing out minor infractions against the possible consequences. Tilting the head in conversation is used to soften the message, it is also used to either imply a question, signal that you’re listening or encourage another person to respond.

For every professional woman who wants to get ahead - but feels she is at an impasse - NICE GIRLS DON'T GET THE CORNER OFFICE comes to the rescue. For me most important point I take from this read, valid from now: I will never again apologize for winning!
