Synopsis

The bestselling guide fully updated for the post-Lean In era

For nearly two decades, Hardball for Women has shown women how to get ahead in the business world. Whether the arena is a law firm, a medical group, a tech company, or any other work environment, Hardball for Women decodes male business culture and shows women how to break patterns of behavior that put them at a disadvantage. It explains how to get results when you "lean in" without being thrown off balance. Illustrated with real-life examples Hardball for Women teaches women how to:

• Successfully navigate middle management to become a leader in your field
• Be assertive without being obnoxious
• Display confidence
• Engage in smart self-promotion
• Lead both men and women--and recognize the differences between them
• Use "power talk" language to your advantage

About this title

Review:

One of O, The Oprah Magazine's Must Reads

"In this constructive, no-nonsense guide, business consultant Heim addresses women executives who, despite technical proficiency, hard work and managerial skills equal or superior to those of their male co-workers, have been passed over for promotions."--Publishers Weekly
