Why read it?
2 authors picked How Women Rise as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

From Michelle's list on women leaders to have respect and relationships.
This book is another top pick of mine. Helgesen and Goldsmith provide advice for leaders who are ready to move forward, but are confused by what is holding them back. The book breaks down the 12 habits that hold women back (and some men) and prevents them from taking their careers to new heights. I love their direct no nonsense approach and pragmatic suggestions. A must read for women who are ready to break through and achieve greatness.
From Roberta's list on maximizing your talent.
