Publisher's Summary

Overcome the 12 habits holding you back and take your career to new heights with this wise and approachable guide from two business leadership experts.

Ready to take the next step in your career...but not sure what's holding you back? Listen on.

Leadership expert Sally Helgesen and best-selling leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith have trained thousands of high achievers - men and women - to reach even greater heights. Again and again, they see that women face specific and different road blocks from men as they advance in the workplace. In fact, the very habits that helped women early in their careers can hinder them as they move up. Simply put, what got you here won't get you there...and you might not even realize your blind spots until it's too late.

Are you great with the details? To rise, you need to do less and delegate more.

Are you a team player? To advance, you need to take credit as easily as you share it.

Are you a star networker? Leaders know a network is no good unless you know how to use it.

Sally and Marshall identify the 12 habits that hold women back as they seek to advance, showing them why what worked for them in the past might actually be sabotaging their future success. Building on Marshall's classic best seller What Got You Here Won't Get You There, their new book, How Women Rise, is essential listening for any woman who is ready to advance to the next level.

What the critics say

"A myth-busting "how to" for the next generation of women leaders, and those who want to see them succeed. These ideas will transform our workplaces, our careers, and our lives." (Rita McGrath, professor at Columbia Business School and a Thinkers50 Top Ten Business Thinker)

"Extraordinary real-life stories of women who wait to be asked to the party, get stuck in their comfort zone, seek perfection, and assume their hard work will be recognized. Sally and Marshall show us how to get unstuck and to 'stand out' so women can move forward in more purposeful, powerful, and productive careers. This is a must read with great actionable advice!" (Janice Reals Ellig, chief executive officer of Chadick Ellig and one of BusinessWeek's "World's Most Influential Headhunters")

"Sally and Marshall give new meaning to the term 'dream team.' Together they have produced a masterpiece, an over-the-moon but magnificently down-to-earth leadership book for the ages." (Tom Peters, best-selling author of In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America's Best-Run Companies)

Eye opening and repeating

I found this book really resonated with many of the feelings and mindsets I held before hearing this advice. I found it to be thoughtfully told and to provide compassionate honesty. In fact I have been searching for more books like this, books that resonate, that I can relate to and apply into my daily practice. I thought it was thought provoking and encouraging. It has helped me shape my mindset as an executive women in a leadership role.

Supports systemic issues

The advice of the two authors supports the current systemic challenges that women face rather than how to overcome them. They are recommending that you continue to play the game rather than, especially for women in powerful roles, to change the rules of the game.

Does not make women the victims

Great book. Love how the authors did not portray women as victims of their gender when it comes to leadership. Practical recommendations and real-world coaching examples.

I loved this book

This book was needed. As a female entrepreneur and a naturally shy person, I highly recommend it. I will be listening to it a few more times.
