by Katty Kay
First published 2014
Working women today possess better education and stronger qualifications than any previous generation. Despite these advantages, men continue to dominate executive positions across corporate America. Katty Kay and Claire Shipman identify confidence as the missing element that prevents women from advancing to leadership roles they have earned. The authors blend research from genetics, gender studies, behavioral science, and cognitive psychology with personal stories from their own careers and interviews with successful women in politics, media, and business. Rather than simply telling women to be more assertive, Kay and Shipman provide concrete strategies for building genuine confidence. They offer practical guidance that helps women close the leadership gap and pursue the careers that match their abilities and ambitions.
