Inside Knowledge
How Women Can Thrive in Professional Service Firms
Emerald Publishing Limited, 2017
What's inside?
Actively managing their careers helps women succeed in professional service firms.
Recommendation
Women’s leadership coach Alison Temperley addresses unconscious bias and gender inequities in professional service firms. Even in firms that claim to be meritocracies, women don’t advance as quickly as their male counterparts. Temperley advises women to be more vocal, to express how their contributions matter and to advocate for promotion. Although the book’s subtitle positions her overview as niche advice for women in professional firms, women in many fields will find her counsel applicable.
