Description

The #MeToo movement has brought unprecedented global awareness to persistent gender inequality in the business world. Meanwhile, corporate North America invests tens of millions of dollars each year in initiatives designed to support high-potential women, with precious little to show for it. The number of female CEOs leading the world's largest companies has remained unchanged in the last twenty years. So what's the missing link? In this provocative, entertaining, and irreverent guide, women's leadership expert Eleanor Beaton tackles the critical yet grossly under-explored link between women's professional advancement and their relationship with power. Leaning in only gets you so far; it's time to unpack why you don't want the power you so desperately crave.
