A follow-up to the international bestseller What Got You Here Won't Get You There that will empower women and inspire them to achieve in business.
Do you hesitate about putting forward ideas? Are you reluctant to claim credit for your achievements? Do you find it difficult to get the support you need from your boss or the recognition you deserve from your colleagues? If your answer to any of these is 'Yes', How Women Rise will help get you back on track.
Inspiring and practical by turns, it identifies 12 common habits that can prove an obstacle to future success and tells you how to overcome them. In the process, it points the way to a career that will satisfy your ambitions and help you make the difference you want to make in the world.
Offering both a male and female perspective on the dilemmas women
face in business, this book provides the benefits of high-level
executive coaching to all women who want to take control of their
careers and achieve their aspirations for corporate leadership.
Despite efforts to increase diversity within Fortune 500 companies
and larger numbers of highly motivated and educated women in the
workforce, women remain vastly under-represented at the highest
levels of corporate leadership. Only about 15 percent of women hold
senior executive positions, and about 17 percent are represented on
corporate boards; worldwide, only 3–4 percent of CEOs are women.
These statistics are in spite of the fact that many companies are
actively seeking to take advantage of the financial boost that
gender balance at the corporate level brings: Companies that have
women in leadership roles are showing higher performance in various
measures of profitability, such as revenues, assets, and
stockholder value. How can qualified women leaders overcome the
myriad longstanding hurdles of the corporate environment and reach
the top? Coauthored by executive coaches to some of corporate
America's most notable leaders, this practical, research- and
experience-based guide identifies the various barriers that block
women from reaching positions of corporate leadership and offers
readers specific strategies and approaches that they can utilize to
advance themselves into the positions they want—and apply their
talents and abilities at the very top. The chapters address very
specific challenges for women in the business world, such as
strengthening and leveraging their closest connections, including
those with their mentors and their sponsors; understanding how
"performance" means more than doing their jobs well; garnering
positive attention and recognition for their efforts and results;
and getting honest, practical feedback that will serve to advance
their careers.
In business - as in life - the right behaviours matter. But getting
it right is tricky. Even when we acknowledge the need to change
what we do and how we do it, life has a habit of getting in the
way, upsetting even the best-laid plans. And just how do we manage
those situations that can provoke even the most rational among us
into behaving in ways we would rather forget? Triggers confronts
head-on the challenges of behaviour and change, looking at the
external factors (or 'triggers') - both negative and positive -
that affect our behaviours, our awareness of when we need to
change, our willingness (or otherwise) to do so and our ability to
see the change through. Drawing on his unparalleled experience as
an international executive educator and coach, Marshall Goldsmith
invites us to understand how our own beliefs and the environments
in which we operate can trigger negative behaviours, or a
resistance to the need to change. But he also offers up some
simple, practical advice to help us navigate the negative and make
the most of the triggers that will help us to sustain positive
change.
Your hard work is paying off. You are doing well in your field. But
there is something standing between you and the next level of
achievement. That something may just be one of your own annoying
habits.Perhaps one small flaw - a behaviour you barely even
recognise - is the only thing that's keeping you from where you
want to be. It may be that the very characteristic that you believe
got you where you are - like the drive to win at all costs - is
what's holding you back. As this book explains, people often do
well in spite of certain habits rather than because of them-and
need a "to stop" list rather than one listing what "to do".
Marshall Goldsmith's expertise is in helping global leaders
overcome their unconscious annoying habits and become more
successful. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price
tag - but in this book you get his great advice for much less.
Recently named as one of the world's five most-respected executive
coaches by Forbes, he has worked with over 100 major CEOs and their
management teams at the world's top businesses. His clients include
corporations such as Goldman Sachs, Glaxo SmithKline, Johnson and
Johnson and GE.

who are downright irrational. No matter how hard you try to reason

can exacerbate the situation-and what to do instead * When to
confront a problem and when to walk away * How to activate the
Sanity Cycle-which quickly transforms you from threat to ally * How

them. This powerful and practical book shows you how.

The best leaders, in the biggest moments, know how to read the
situation, respond in the most effective way possible, and move
forward. You can, too. The hardest part of leadership is mastering

David Noble and Carol Kauffman show you how with their innovative

play unfolds or a great conductor who anticipates what's needed to
deliver a great performance. Noble and Kauffman bring decades of
experience coaching thousands of leaders, along with a deep base of

own crucible moments. Real-Time Leadership is a compelling and
