Coworkers and bosses present unique challenges, but many women are their
own worst enemies - sabotaging their careers and failing to go after
what they want. This book encourages women to stop waiting for that big
break and start playing offense in their career.
Women, more than men,
face issues like gossip, envy, criticism, passive-aggressive coworkers,
burnout and struggles with a work / life balance. Women will also learn
about the old boy network, sexual harassment, unequal pay, communication, self-esteem and self-respect.
Each chapter is divided into two
sections: the problem and the solution. Author Sarah Kaip, speaks with
frankness and insight on how to take charge of one's career. Many of the
subjects are based on personal experience, although the book does not
reference her specifically.
Not all offices or workplaces are the same,
but many of the policies and challenges women face are the same, no
matter where they work.
For instance, have you ever

There are sections on surviving
coworkers, surviving bosses and surviving yourself. Women will find
themselves nodding their heads in agreement, as they relate to the
topics discussed in this book. Things don't just happen in a career, you
need to make a plan. This book will help.
