Tax included. at no charge dispatch worldwide.
Consider that even competent women must appear likeable to successfully negotiate a salary, ask for a promotion, or take credit for a job well doneand that studies show these actions usually make them less likeable. And this minefield is doubly loaded when likeability intersects with race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and parental status.Relying on extensive research and interviews, and carefully examined personal experience, The Likeability Trap delivers an essential examination of the pressure put on women to be amiable at work, home, and in the public sphere, and explores the price women pay for internalizing those demands. Rather than advising readers to make themselves likeable, Menendez empowers them to examine how they perceive themselves and others and explores how the concept of likeability is riddled with cultural biases. Our demands for likeability, she argues, hinder everyones progress and power.Inspiring, thoughtful and often funny. excellent for everyday use. superior materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
