Description

A Wall Street Journal and Washington Post Bestseller, Own It is a new roughly career playbook for a new era of feminism, offering women a new set of rules for professional success: one that plays to their strengths and builds on the power they already have.

Weren’t women supposed to have “arrived”? Perhaps with the nation’s first female President, equal pay on the horizon, true diversity in the workplace to come thereafter? Or, no less than the end of “fat-shaming” and “locker room talk”? 
 
Well, we aren’t rather there yet. But does that mean that progress for women in business has come to a screeching halt?  It’s true that the old rules didn’t get us so far as we hoped. But we can go the distance, and we can close the gaps that still exist. We just need a new way.
 
In reality, there are lots of reasons to be optimistic about the future, says former Wall Street powerhouse-turned-entrepreneur Sallie Krawcheck.  That’s because the business world is changing fast –driven largely by technology – and it’s changing in ways that give us more power and opportunities than ever…and even more than we yet realize.  
 
Success for professional women will no longer be about trying to compete at the men’s version of the game, she says. And it’ll no longer be about contorting ourselves to men’s expectations of how powerful people behave. Instead, it’s about embracing and making an investment in our innate strengths as women – and bringing them proudly and unapologetically, to work.
 
When we do, she says, we gain the power to advance in our careers in more natural ways. We gain the power to initiate courageous conversations in the workplace. We gain the power to forge non-traditional career paths; to leave companies that don’t respect our worth, and instead, go start our own. And we gain the power to invest our economic muscle in making our lives, and the world, better.
 
Here Krawcheck draws on her experiences at the highest levels of business, both as probably the most few women at the top rungs of the biggest boy’s club on the earth, and as an entrepreneur, to show women how to seize this seismic shift in power to take their careers to the next level.
 
This change is real, and it’s coming fast. It’s time to own it.
