Earning It
Hard-Won Lessons from Trailblazing Women at the Top of the Business World
HarperBusiness, 2016
What's inside?
More than 40 successful female executives provide insider career and business advice.
Recommendation
Lifelong journalist Joann S. Lublin shares an important trait with the 52 female executives she interviewed: They all pushed through multiple barriers to succeed as women in their respective fields. Their stories provide first-person guidance, especially those from the 65% of interviewees who are past or current public company CEOs. In this well-structured if sometimes repetitive collection, Lublin ties the narrative together with relevant statistics and “Leadership Lessons.” getAbstract recommends her compilation to women who are focusing on moving ahead in their careers, and to men seeking to understand the challenges that women face in the workplace.
