Book Description
The groundbreaking classic that explores how women can and should negotiate for parity in their workplaces, homes, and beyond When Linda Babcock wanted to know why male graduate students were teaching their own courses while female students were always assigned as assistants, her dean said: "More men ask. The women just don't ask." Drawing on psychology, sociology, economics, and organizational behavior as well as dozens of interviews with men and women in different fields and at all stages in their careers, Women Don't Ask explores how our institutions, child-rearing practices, and implicit assumptions discourage women from asking for the opportunities and resources that they have earned and deserve—perpetuating inequalities that are fundamentally unfair and economically unsound. Women Don't Ask tells women how to ask, and why they should.

Book Description
Did you know that by failing to negotiate her starting salary for her first job, a woman may sacrifice over a half a million pounds in earnings by the end of her career? Yet, as research reveals, men are four times as likely to ask for higher pay than are women with the same qualifications. In this eye-opening book, Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever draw on research in psychology, sociology, economics and organisational behaviour as well as dozens of interviews to explore the personal and societal reasons why women seldom ask for what they need, want and deserve at work and at home. Why Women Don't Ask - a sensation when published in the US in 2003 - is a call to arms that will help you recognise the ways in which our culture perpetuates inequalities - and how you can begin to overcome them.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Heather’s response illustrates the fatalistic mindset many women have, believing that their circumstances are more fixed and absolute than they really are. #2 The belief that opportunity only knocks once can be a barrier for women, who may assume that they must wait to be given the things they want or need. But the truth is that opportunity doesn’t always knock. #3 The turnip to oyster scale measured peoples’ propensity to see possibilities for change in their circumstances. Low scorers were people who saw little benefit to asking for what they wanted because they believed their environment was unchangeable. High scorers were people who saw most situations as adaptable to their needs and regularly looked for ways to improve their circumstances. #4 Women were 45 percent more likely than men to score low on the oyster-turnip scale, indicating that women are much less likely than men to see the benefits and importance of asking for what they want.

Book Description
When Linda Babcock asked why so many male graduate students were teaching their own courses and most female students were assigned as assistants, her dean said: ""More men ask. The women just don't ask."" It turns out that whether they want higher salaries or more help at home, women often find it hard to ask. Sometimes they don't know that change is possible--they don't know that they can ask. Sometimes they fear that asking may damage a relationship. And sometimes they don't ask because they've learned that society can react badly to women asserting their own needs and desires. By.

Book Description
Combining fascinating research with revealing commentary from hundreds of women, this groundbreaking book explores the personal and societal reasons women seldom ask for what they need, want, and deserve at home and at work-and shows how they can develop this crucial skill. By neglecting to negotiate her starting salary for her first job, a woman may sacrifice over half a million dollars in earnings by the end of her career. Yet, as research reveals, men are four times more likely to ask for higher pay than are women with the same qualifications. From career promotions to help with child care, studies show time and again that women donʼt ask-and frequently donʼt even realize that they can. Women Donʼt Ask offers real-life examples of the differences between the negotiating habits of men and women, and guides women in retooling their attitudes and approaches. Discover how to: Take the first step-choosing to negotiate at all, develop a comfortable, effective negotiation style, and overcome fear, personal entitlement issues, and gender stereotypes.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 If you’re a woman, you may have a voice in your head that whispers, Are you sure you’re as good as you think you are. or Why can’t you be happy with what you’ve got. The voice of a society that hasn’t progressed nearly as far as we’d like to think. #2 Women don’t ask for what they want and need, and as a result, they suffer severe consequences. The difference in the rate of asking between male and female students in Linda’s negotiation class indicates that women aren’t using negotiation to promote their careers as much as they could be. #3 Linda found that men initiate negotiations to advance their own interests about four times as frequently as women do. She also found that men use negotiation to improve their positions much more than women do. #4 Women are often not negotiating their salaries, and this can be extremely costly for them. Not negotiating your salary can lead to outrageously expensive consequences down the road.

Book Description
In this “long overdue manifesto on gender equality in the workplace, a practical playbook with tips you can put into action immediately…simply priceless” (Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit), The No Club offers a timely solution to achieving equity at work: unburden women’s careers from work that goes unrewarded. The No Club started when four women, crushed by endless to-do lists, banded together to get their work lives under control. Running faster than ever, they still trailed behind male colleagues. And so, they vowed to say no to requests that pulled them away from the work that mattered most to their careers. This book reveals how their over-a-decade-long journey and subsequent groundbreaking research showing that women everywhere are unfairly burdened with “non-promotable work,” a tremendous problem we can—and must—solve. All organizations have work that no one wants to do: planning the office party, screening interns, attending to that time-consuming client, or simply helping others with their work. A woman, most often, takes on these tasks. In study after study, professors Linda Babcock (bestselling author of Women Don’t Ask), Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund, and Laurie Weingart—the original “No Club”—document that women are disproportionately asked and expected to do this work. The imbalance leaves women overcommitted and underutilized as companies forfeit revenue, productivity, and top talent. The No Club walks you through how to change your workload, empowering women to make savvy decisions about the work they take on. The authors also illuminate how organizations can reassess how they assign and reward work to level the playing field. With hard data, personal anecdotes from women of all stripes, self- and workplace-assessments for immediate use, and innovative advice from the authors’ consulting Fortune 500 companies, this book will forever change the conversation about how we advance women’s careers and achieve equity in the 21st century.
