About this listen

Overcome the 12 habits holding you back and take your career to new heights with this wise and approachable guide from two business leadership experts.

Ready to take the next step in your career...but not sure what's holding you back? Listen on.

Leadership expert Sally Helgesen and best-selling leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith have trained thousands of high achievers - men and women - to reach even greater heights. Again and again, they see that women face specific and different road blocks from men as they advance in the workplace. In fact, the very habits that helped women early in their careers can hinder them as they move up. Simply put, what got you here won't get you there...and you might not even realize your blind spots until it's too late.

Are you great with the details? To rise, you need to do less and delegate more.

Are you a team player? To advance, you need to take credit as easily as you share it.

Are you a star networker? Leaders know a network is no good unless you know how to use it.

Sally and Marshall identify the 12 habits that hold women back as they seek to advance, showing them why what worked for them in the past might actually be sabotaging their future success. Building on Marshall's classic best seller What Got You Here Won't Get You There, their new book, How Women Rise, is essential listening for any woman who is ready to advance to the next level.

Critic reviews

"A myth-busting "how to" for the next generation of women leaders, and those who want to see them succeed. These ideas will transform our workplaces, our careers, and our lives." (Rita McGrath, professor at Columbia Business School and a Thinkers50 Top Ten Business Thinker)

"Extraordinary real-life stories of women who wait to be asked to the party, get stuck in their comfort zone, seek perfection, and assume their hard work will be recognized. Sally and Marshall show us how to get unstuck and to 'stand out' so women can move forward in more purposeful, powerful, and productive careers. This is a must read with great actionable advice!" (Janice Reals Ellig, chief executive officer of Chadick Ellig and one of BusinessWeek's "World's Most Influential Headhunters")

"Sally and Marshall give new meaning to the term 'dream team.' Together they have produced a masterpiece, an over-the-moon but magnificently down-to-earth leadership book for the ages." (Tom Peters, best-selling author of In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America's Best-Run Companies)

A timely and impactful read!

This is a must read for every leader who is committed to helping Women rise. I’ve read and listen to the book; I’ve also interviewed the authors. What I found particularly helpful, beyond the identification of specific habits that hold women back, was learning where the 12 habits originate, and how to disrupt them.

Exactly what I needed

After 6 years of non-rewarding working experience in a corporate company, now I realize why I never had a better position nor recognition, even though I'm a very dedicated hardworking professional. I'm afraid I have had many of the bad habits at work the writers describe. I found this book very helpful, exactly what I needed to reshape my professional career. Thank you!

This is a "Life Chaning Listen"

A must listen for all, from 9 years old to 99 years old!! I wish I would have listened to this 30 years ago. I am a 46 year old female, learning the "12 Habits You Need To Develop" at 16 years old, would have empowered me and given me the tools to "Rise".. throughout my life. Every Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister and Friend.... listen and gift to all the women in your life.

A MUST READ FOR FEMALE LEADERS

I cannot say enough about this book - I love it! A friend in my graduate school program recommended it to me and I can personally attest that this changed my perspective as a future #girlboss. I constantly recommend this to my female colleagues and friends alike as I found the advice, stories, and habits highlighted to be extremely relevant even in the modern workplace. I continue to listen to this over and over again to reflect on habits I continue to work on and improve.

Changed my life

I didn’t understand how My skills and experiences could get in the way of my success and happiness as I press through my career. This book has completely changed my perception and given me good ideas on how to take different action. I am skipping into work! Narration of this audiobook is excellent.

YES

This book needs to be read by every professional female, and men could benefit from it, as well. I learned so much about myself from this book, and I am about to read it again more slowly so that I can take actionable notes.
