“I got a Job with this Book” is the headline for the latest review of How Women Lead.
“This book was a gift from my mom, right before I was interviewing for a new job. I ended up getting the job, which was two levels above my current position. I can definitely say it was in part due to the information in this book. The most useful chapter was entitled Advocate Unabashedly for Yourself. Women, in general, tend to have a harder time taking credit for and selling their accomplishments. Thus we get passed over for promotions and better assignments. The big take aways from this chapter are:
- Develop a brand that is uniquely yours
- Think of yourself as a valuable asset
- Create an executive presence
- Build your reputation strategically
- Track and quantify your successes
- Do your research
- Ask for what you want
This book was also a quick read. Highly recommended!”
