Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office

"Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office" by Lois P. Frankel is a personal and professional development book about how behaviours women are "taught as polite" can harm their careers and self-confidence. The author identifies a range of habits and attitudes that often hold women back at work, such as avoiding conflict, not asking for promotions or not expressing opinions assertively. Through practical advice, she encourages readers to build a stronger professional presence and ask for what they deserve.

The book has strong psychological elements, especially in the areas of self-esteem, social behaviour, thought patterns and the influence of upbringing on personality. Lois P. Frankel uses an approach based on behavioural psychology to explain why some habits are limiting and how they can be replaced with more confident and effective behaviour. It is a very valuable read for women who want to increase their self-confidence, improve their careers and take more control of their professional and personal lives.
