SUMMARY - How Women Decide By Therese Huston

Book excerpt: * Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will discover how to take advantage of being a woman in business in order to assert your value, your opinions, and your desires. You will also discover : what differentiates a masculine choice from a feminine choice; why the choice of a woman always implies a higher risk for her professional image; that escaping the stereotypes of the emotional mother/employee manager is always possible; that it is within everyone's reach to make good decisions under pressure, for oneself or an entire team. Women are encouraged from all sides to assert themselves. They must free themselves from the social expectations that weigh on their career and their body. Yet few people talk about the consequences of this empowerment and the resulting power relationships. In a social context that is still attached to its gender stereotypes, it is also essential to make oneself audible in one's desire for affirmation, evolution or independence. By becoming aware of the daily obstacles to your choices, a new potential for action opens up for you. And who would refuse a little more power or a better salary? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
