Award-winning Hira Ali examines the myriad of challenges women face
on their road to professional success. Informed by her 13 years of
coaching experience and survey responses from 300 working women,
she reveals the universal internal and external roadblocks that can
impede a woman's climb to the top, regardless of her culture or
geography. This go-to guide for working women explores FOMO (the
Fear of Missing Out), Imposter Syndrome, perfectionism and sexual
harassment, among other issues. She moves beyond problems and
empowers her readers with real solutions to help them break the
glass ceiling. Written by a successful career woman for the benefit
of career women around the world, Her Way to the Top demonstrates
that women are all in this together, and together they can make a
difference for each other.
As online distractions increasingly colonize our time, why has
productivity become such a vital demonstration of personal and
professional competence? When corporate profits are soaring but
worker salaries remain stagnant, how does technology exacerbate the
demand for ever greater productivity? In Counterproductive Melissa
Gregg explores how productivity emerged as a way of thinking about
job performance at the turn of the last century and why it remains
prominent in the different work worlds of today. Examining
historical and archival material alongside popular self-help
genres-from housekeeping manuals to bootstrapping business gurus,
and the growing interest in productivity and mindfulness
software-Gregg shows how a focus on productivity isolates workers
from one another and erases their collective efforts to define work
limits. Questioning our faith in productivity as the ultimate
measure of success, Gregg's novel analysis conveys the futility,
pointlessness, and danger of seeking time management as a salve for
the always-on workplace.
