★★★★★ The publisher provided a copy for review before publication.
I've watched it happen over and over to girlfriends and colleagues. Iit's happened to me as the "almost-elected" nominee several times.
It's a trend that every working woman has experienced or observed. Well-liked and well-intentioned guys overlook qualified women or push them to the side when promotions come around. In general, these men are not high-level CEOs or huge decision-makers. For the mot part, they will not advocate for a female coworker. They don't speak up. They don't mentor. Instead, they guard their flanks and their position and leave highly-skilled women on the sidelines.
Reed examines the fears and aspirations of men in the middle. Well-researched and supported by workplace experiences, she asks why men will not boost women into higher positions as they rise through the ranks or manage groups.
Eye-opening and solution-oriented, this book is worth including in workplace discussions on equality and gender.
