Running faster than ever, they nevertheless trailed behind their male colleagues. And so, they vowed to say no to requests that pulled them away from the work that mattered most to their careers. This book reveals how their over-a-decade-long journey and groundbreaking research uncovered that women everywhere are unfairly burdened with \"non-promotable work\", a tremendous problem we can - and must - solve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll organizations have work that no one wants to do: planning the office party, screening interns, attending to that time-consuming client, or simply helping others with their work. From office housework to important assignments that inevitably go unrewarded, a woman, most often, takes on these tasks. In study upon study, professors Linda Babcock (bestselling author of WHY WOMEN DON'T ASK), Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund, and Laurie Weingart - the original \"No Club\" - document that women are disproportionately asked \u003ci\u003eand expected\u003c\/i\u003e to do this kind of work. This imbalance leaves women overcommitted and underutilized as companies forfeit revenue, productivity, and top talent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it doesn't have to be this way. THE NO CLUB walks you through how to make small, yet important, changes to your own workload and empowers women to make savvy decisions about what they take on. At the same time, the authors illuminate how lasting change calls for organizations to reassess how they assign and reward work to level the playing field. With hard data, personal anecdotes from women of all stripes, practical self- and workplace-assessments, and innovative advice from consulting in Fortune 500 companies, this book will forever change the conversation about how we advance women's careers and achieve equality in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43201686044850,"sku":"9780349426938","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780349426938.jpg?v=1786013408"},{"product_id":"9780691210537","title":"Women Don′t Ask – Negotiation and the Gender Divide","description":"The groundbreaking classic that explores how women can and should negotiate for parity in their workplaces, homes, and beyondWhen Linda Babcock wanted to know why male graduate students were teaching their own courses while female students were always assigned as assistants, her dean said: \"More men ask. The women just don't ask.\" Drawing on psychology, sociology, economics, and organizational behavior as well as dozens of interviews with men and women in different fields and at all stages in their careers, Women Don't Ask explores how our institutions, child-rearing practices, and implicit assumptions discourage women from asking for the opportunities and resources that they have earned and deserve—perpetuating inequalities that are fundamentally unfair and economically unsound. Women Don't Ask tells women how to ask, and why they should.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294874153333,"sku":"9780691210537","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780691210537_39762e52-aec6-44ce-b05c-aab250b9101a.jpg?v=1786014490"},{"product_id":"9798892792943","title":"HBR's 10 Must Reads on Women and Leadership, Updated and Expanded (featuring \"Stop Telling Women They Have Impostor Syndrome\" by Ruchika T.
