Standing at the Crossroads: Next Steps for High Achieving Women

by Marian N. Ruderman, Patricia J. Ohlott

Thoroughly researched and clearly written, Standing at the Crossroads speaks to the whole professional woman and her organization, providing a framework for guiding a woman's growth and development as a high- achieving leader. The authors debunk the common myth that women must give up life's other roles to be successful professionally, and offer research conducted by the Center for Creative Leadership in conjunction with participants in The Women's Leadership Program to show that multiple roles in fact benefit and enhance women's managerial performance. The book provides individuals and their organizations with invaluable advice they can use to support women's development as managers and leaders.

[Moumita Nandi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of the first non-fiction books that I really enjoyed reading end to end. There is a lot of research done on womanhood before the writing and Ruderman and Ohlott did a fantastic job in bringing out the exact everyday dilemma that a woman face in the modern day workplace and society. The experiences cited are apt and the book is overall a very well organized write-up.
Not only managerial women , I would recommend this book should be read by all working women since it gives the correct framework for evaluating herself while confronting day to day hurdles.
