Sobre o que é?
Learning to say no might be the single most effective thing you can do to advance your career.
Recommendation
A disproportionate number of women perform workplace tasks that do nothing to advance their career – or even damage it – while their male counterparts fail to share the burden of these tasks. Professors Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund and Laurie Weingart argue that the inequity arises from an underlying problem: Society still expects women to say yes when asked to help and punishes them if they say no. Drawing on research and their personal experience, the four professors give women and organizations tools to create more just and equal workplaces where everyone can flourish.
