Sally Helgesen and Marshall Goldsmith
The very behaviors that helped you launch your career and deliver great work are exactly what will keep you from reaching the executive suite.
Assuming your hard work will spontaneously be noticed deprives you of recognition and prevents leadership from understanding your true strategic value.
Mastering every detail of your current job proves you are perfect for that exact role, but advancing requires managing experts rather than being the sole expert.
While women excel at building authentic workplace friendships, they must learn to actively leverage those connections for mutual professional benefit and career advancement.
