Mark: A brilliant follow up to Marshall Goldsmith's epic "What got you here...". I am an executive coach (and a male) & found the book amazingly clear and logical - and scarily clear on issues facing women in the workplace. The examples are clear and the advice on how to overcome/prevent them was also logical and implementable. I will be using and recommending this book as much as I have done already with Marshall's original - which is plenty!

Michelle ZhangMichelle Zhang: I knew this book from one of my mentors Simone Lawrence. She brought such a spark into my life and got me thinking about how my behavior held me back from chasing dreams.

After read the book, I joined the Women Leadership Program - Rise for Impact and Rise for Scale - that were powered by Sally. What I've learnt from this journey is not only my awareness about the habits impacted me in different ways, also I can support other women to rise.

I made some friends by organizing the Chinese version of this book through a 7-week Book Club. The rich conversation, open sharing and honest being ourselves brought valuable and positive changes in our community.

Cheers!!

Margot MM: I read several books on women in the workforce. Most of the time I find them cliché and caricatural, and I don't find the advice well explained nor relevant. This book is different: This is by far the book that resonated the most with me. The examples are very well written and I read the book twice to remind myself frequently on the mistakes to avoid. Great book !

Jennifer L.: I LOVE this book. I bought the hardback AND the audible after listening to a few chapters and realizing I wanted to read this as I'm a visual learner and Audible I tend to use for commute time and don't always pay stringent attention to content like I do when reading.

I read Marshall Goldsmith's book: what got you here doesn't get you there. I didn't resonate with most of the obstacles. Now I realize that's because I'm a woman. Sally Helgesen brings so much value to the book I've been looking for for decades to understand why I've always felt like a square peg in a round hold in both male-dominated careers I've had.

This book isn't enough on its own for me though. It is written politically correctly and doesn't address male culture as I've experienced it, both in blue collar and white collar careers I've had with mostly men.

There's another book I read right before this one that helps more with unvarnished truths about what men think and understanding male culture as if you were an alien landing on planet Earth with men for the first time... (this book focuses mostly on our own challenges). It was written almost 20 years ago and that's why it's still relevant...

William N. Parker: OK. I am a guy who bought the book, How Women Rise. Let me share some background, before I attempt to share the immense value of this resource.

Sally Helgesen’s book, The Female Advantage, was read in 1996, my first year as an entrepreneurial organizational development specialist. I had not read many, if any leadership books penned by women in the ten years that preceded Sally’s book, and the title intrigued me. I read Marshall’s book, What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, in 2007; it was so good that I purchased Triggers shortly after it was published. That book helped me significantly with changing a number of interpersonal behaviors, which I still have to monitor.

Leadership, the development of individuals and teams toward their perpetual effectiveness and performance potentials, is obviously not a one-gender issue. Most large organizations in the 1960s through 1980s thought so, as the management teams were predominantly male-oriented. As a soft-skills, content developer and classroom facilitator/trainer, I wanted to utilize every possible concept, resource, and idea that would resonate with learners and empower them to help their direct reports become...
