A Women@Forbes "Boss Moves Book Club" pick
A candid guide for ambitious women who want to succeed without losing
themselves in the process
Fran Hauser deconstructs the negative perception of "niceness" that many
women struggle with in the business world. If women are nice, they are
seen as weak and ineffective, but if they are tough, they are labeled a
bitch.
Hauser proves that women don't have to sacrifice their values or hide
their authentic personalities to be successful. Sharing a wealth of
personal anecdotes and time-tested strategies, she shows women how to
reclaim "nice" and sidestep regressive stereotypes about what a strong
leader looks like. Her accessible advice and hard-won wisdom detail how
to balance being empathetic with being decisive, how to rise above the
double standards that can box you in, how to cultivate authentic
confidence that projects throughout a room, and much more.
THE MYTH OF THE NICE GIRL is a refreshing dose of forward-looking
feminism that will resonate with smart, professional women who know what
they want and are looking for real advice to take their career to the
next level without losing themselves in the process.
