Advice for women from women for negotiating their own leadership
careers
This is a practical guide for any woman dealing with a demanding
role. Drawing on extensive interviews with women leaders, the
authors isolate five key challenges: Intelligence; Backing;
Resources; Buy-In; and Making a Difference. The three expert
authors reveal what women have to teach us about the challenges and
opportunities of leadership. As Tom Peters said of this book,
‘Women roar . . . . will help individual women negotiate what they
need to success as leaders and help their firms support them in
their efforts. That way we all win!’
* Describes five key actions for leadership success: Drill Deep,
Start from Strength, Assemble the Building Blocks, Gather Momentum,
and Make Your Mark
* Filled with prescriptive advice and a wide range of approaches
for helping women with leadership challenges
* Lead authors wrote the The Shadow Negotiation, which was
then released in paperback as Everyday Negotiation
The book includes interviews with high-profile women leaders
including Ann Moore (CEO of Time Inc.), Ann Mulcahy (CEO of Xerox),
and Harvard’s Rosabeth Moss Kanter.
