"Think of this book as your personal guide for moving into the leadership spot you dream about—without losing yourself in the web of workplace lies and half-truths women too frequently fall for." —Forbes
A master class "filled with the wisdom that exponentially transforms your career and life" (Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper), 15 Lies Women are Told at Work shares the un-common sense women need to succeed—and the lies to ignore along the way.
Bonnie Hammer's legendary career spans five decades in a turbulent, male-driven industry. Today, Bonnie is a powerful leader at the very top of her field, and women at all levels constantly ask her: What is your secret to success?
Her power—and her staying power—comes from rejecting common myths about how women are "supposed" to act in the workplace. She knows that the traditional wisdom women are told about work—pithy phrases like "don't mix work with play," "talk is cheap," "follow your dreams," "know your worth," "trust your gut," and "you can have it all"—hold women back. Having risen from an entry-level production assistant whose chief charge was a dog, to a transformative, top executive at NBCUniversal, Bonnie challenges conventional workplace wisdom and shares the un-common sense women need to succeed.
Bonnie has mentored countless women in every industry. She's known for telling the uncensored and uncompromising truth—even when it isn't easy to hear. Now, she gives you her private master class—replacing the lies women have been fed about work with her unique wisdom. You will learn powerful new truths and easily digestible, practical advice to apply in your own life.
Written with humor and heart, and full of insights and research, 15 Lies Women Are Told at Work is an "honest, unfiltered guidebook...a must-read for any woman at any stage in her career" (Chelsea Clinton). It doesn't just explain one woman's rise to the top in a tough industry; it shows how any woman can rise as high as she wants in her own work world.

Three elements define business books written by highly successful women sharing work secrets: ensuring that other, younger professionals learn from the author's mistakes and victories; leaving a legacy of thought leadership; and simply telling the author's story. ""Queen of Cable"" Hammer, vice chair of NBCUniversal, excels especially in this last element. Basing her book around ""15 lies"" is a more contemporary version of demystifying the lessons we've long been taught. For instance, the importance of both inside and outside appearances for women professionals has long been an accepted fact, as has the idea that ""great things come to those who act." Hammer's material takes on individuality in her anecdotes and occasional sidebars. Readers will learn about her career and its successes and learning opportunities along with tales of family, friends--and mistakes. At-a-glance lessons take the form of, for instance, reframing failure, a list of to-dos for brainstorming, and the subtleties of apologizing.COPYRIGHT(2024) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
