How women can make it to the top by adopting the new rules ofleadership
Women hold just 11 percent of the most senior-level leadershippositions in U.S. Corporations--a number that hasn't changedin over 30 years. How can women break through? Break Your OwnRules distills the six faulty assumptions (or "rules") mostwomen follow that get in the way--then delivers thecorrelating new rules that promise to clear that path. For example,the old rule of "Focus on Others" must be replaced by "Take CenterStage," "Hard Work Will Get You There" must yield to "BePolitically Savvy." "Play It Safe" must give way to "Play to Win.""Ask Permission" must be replaced by "Proceed UntilApprehended."
