Nicole R’s review of How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job > Likes and Comments

Best sentence: "A book aimed at men that provides instruction on how THEY should change how THEY look at rising female employees so that they recognize and evaluate skills that female employees often exhibit that are unbelievably valuable and yet often differ from rising men."
I agree 101%. Both sides need to change, not only that women have to assimilate

Excellently put! Just finished this book and your review hit the nail right on its head when it comes to my thoughts on this book. Behave more like a man is the main message I took away from it, while acknowledging that many if the behaviours the author’s identify I absolutely have.

Your words resonated deeply with my experience reading this book. Thank you for articulating them so well.

You ABSOLUTELY nailed what my problem was with this book that I couldn’t put my finger on. Last I checked I’m not a guy and don’t want to be like one in the office!

I felt the same

Yees, you are so right! but working in a male dominated company it is my way to move up and then promote other women so that we are enough to change this!

This is the biggest problem with books targeted to women - be more like the men in your office and that's how you get ahead. Again, there are valid points of improvement AND some of the suggestions are asking women to change who they are as people. There needs to be societal shifts without the responsibility falling to women to fix.

My sixth sense told me that this book would be more about changing your behavior to match male colleagues and this review did not disappoint 🥲
