A propos du livre

Revue de presse

“We need more women at every level of the workplace. In The Myth of the Nice Girl, Fran Hauser redefines our outdated notions of what a powerful leader should look like and shows how a culture in which we no longer allow brilliant jerks to dominate the workplace will be better not just for women, but for everyone — and for the bottom line.” —Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global and founder of Huffington Post “If you want to redefine success on your own terms, you have to reimagine what a strong leader looks like. The Myth of the Nice Girl proves that you don't have to sacrifice who you are to get ahead. It’s time to discard old-fashioned stereotypes, become the boss of your own future, and recognize that being nice and authentic can make you a true Girlboss.” —Sophia Amoruso, founder and CEO, Girlboss “This book is about more than the power that comes with kindness. Fran shares her insights and actionable ideas to help navigate many of work’s most difficult moments along with strategies that will allow you to get ahead.” —Mindy Grossman, president and CEO at Weight Watchers International, Inc. “This book is a must-read for anyone trying to navigate business relationships while ‘staying human.’ I believe in the message so much that it's recommended reading for my class at Columbia Business School. Fran is the perfect example of someone who hasn’t lost her humanity with all of her success, and has shown that kindness can in fact be a leader’s most powerful strength.” —Angela Lee, chief innovation officer and associate dean at Columbia Business School

If women are nice, they are seen as weak and ineffective, but if they are tough, they are labeled a bitch. Hauser proves that women don’t have to sacrifice their values or hide their authentic personalities to be successful. Sharing a wealth of personal anecdotes and time-tested strategies, she shows women how to reclaim “nice” and sidestep regressive stereotypes about what a strong leader looks like. Her accessible advice and hard-won wisdom detail how to balance being empathetic with being decisive, how to rise above the double standards that can box you in, how to cultivate authentic confidence that projects throughout a room, and much more. THE MYTH OF THE NICE GIRL is a refreshing dose of forward-looking feminism that will resonate with smart, professional women who know what they want and are looking for real advice to take their career to the next level without losing themselves in the process.
