Ces filles sympas qui sabotent leur carrière

by Lois P. Frankel

Une promotion largement méritée qui vous passe sous le nez ? Un collègue masculin qui, à compétences égales, gagne plus que vous ? Le sentiment d'être à peine écoutée ou pas toujours prise au sérieux ? Pourtant, au bureau, tout le monde le dit, vous êtes « consciencieuse, sérieuse, efficace, compréhensive, attentionnée, souriante... » Et si cette attitude de fille sympa et bien élevée y était justement pour quelque chose ? Pour se débarrasser de ces comportements, l'auteur identifie les 101 pièges que nous tend notre bonne éducation (se tuer au travail, hésiter à dépenser son budget ou protéger certaines personnes en les couvrant...), et fournit pour chacun des conseils pratiques et les moyens d'échapper aux erreurs inconscientes que toute femme est susceptible de commettre. Ce livre aidera chacune à établir ses priorités et à sortir du modèle qu'on lui a inculqué. Il lui permettra de se libérer des stéréotypes féminins et de réaliser pleinement son potentiel et sa carrière.

[Josephine Olok · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very practical tips on how to improve your career using 8 success strategies. Dr Frankel provides you with an assessment of where you are in the introductory chapter and in subsequent chapters provides you with suggestions on how to improve the different areas which impact your career. These include: building relationships, being part of a team, the power of perception, developing your EI and likeability, managing up, balancing detail orientation with strategic thinking, developing your value added brand and networking. A lot of these should be pretty obvious but tips are practical and if followed can help with personal development.

I'm sure Frankel knows this already, but when this book goes up for re-printing, it would be a good idea to take out Tiger Woods in regards having a positive brand and being an example for career emulation! That really dated the book. Wow. Yuck.

Otherwise good and helpful info.
