Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office by Lois P. Frankel (2004, Hardcover)

I bought this book to my wife, it was recommended by her boss. I don't know if the book is good, but my wife looks very enthusiastic about it.

The book was recommended to me for business purposes. Excellent information on overcoming self-defeating behaviors that were taught in childhood and learn to leverage your power in the workplace.

If you are a self-reflective person who routinely assesses your own work, this book is really basic. I was very excited to receive it, but I found it TOO basic. Not only that, the information pertains to very specific kinds of work environments. As someone who's worked in progressive non-profits, arts organizations, at universities etc., I found a lot of the information didn't apply. This is especially true of the sections that tell you how to dress.

That said, this would probably be best for someone who's utterly clueless about these kinds of thing (and this isn't condescending - I'm utterly clueless about stuff too). I actually think that for women, books that focus on building self-confidence and building good and mutually beneficial relationships are actually more helpful. Gloria Steinem's Revolution from Within in extraordinary in this regard, a LOT smarter, and still incredibly relevant. Add to this the fact that it speaks to both genders and it makes it even better.

Have been looking for a copy of this book for my daughter..B&N did not have a copy..Great info for any one, especially young women going into any kind of real world settings...

I can't leave a review because I never got the book.nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
