Before women can rise to the top, we must get out of our own way. It’s a pivotal time for women leaders. On one hand, studies show women are woefully under-represented in the highest echelons of corporate leadership. On the other, we’ve made huge strides in the political arena, while the global business world increasingly values the 'soft skills' we’re naturally good at. So, what does all of this mean for women who aspire to the C Suite? Deb Boelkes has a simple message: Go for it. Conditions have never been more favorable. Yet know that before you forge ahead it’s crucial to identify and neutralize the forces that are holding you back.In Women On Top: What’s Keeping You From Executive Leadership? -the third in a four-book series--Boelkes lays out a blueprint for getting out of your own way so you can make real progress.
