What's Happening?
Dr. Lois Frankel, an executive coach and bestselling author, has released a revised edition of her book 'Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office'. The book addresses 100 self-sabotaging habits that women often exhibit in the workplace, which can hinder
their career advancement. Frankel emphasizes the persistence of subtle barriers such as microaggressions and ingrained behaviors that continue to challenge women despite societal progress. Her work aims to empower women by providing actionable advice to overcome these challenges and achieve professional success.
Why It's Important?
The release of Frankel's updated book is significant as it addresses ongoing issues of gender inequality in the workplace. By highlighting self-sabotaging behaviors, Frankel provides women with tools to navigate and succeed in professional environments that may still harbor biases. This is crucial in a time when movements like Me Too have brought attention to gender dynamics, yet many women still face obstacles in achieving leadership roles. The book serves as a resource for women to assert their value and break through the 'bro-ocracy' that Frankel describes.
