Combining fascinating research with revealing commentary from
hundreds of women, this groundbreaking book explores the personal
and societal reasons women seldom ask for what they need, want, and
deserve at home and at work–and shows how they can develop this
crucial skill.
By neglecting to negotiate her starting salary for her first job,
a woman may sacrifice over half a million dollars in earnings by
the end of her career. Yet, as research reveals, men are four times
more likely to ask for higher pay than are women with the same
qualifications. From career promotions to help with child care,
studies show time and again that women don’t ask–and frequently
don’t even realize that they can. Women Don’t Ask offers real-life
examples of the differences between the negotiating habits of men
and women, and guides women in retooling their attitudes and
approaches. Discover how to:
? Take the first step–choosing to negotiate at all
? Develop a comfortable, effective negotiation style
? Overcome fear, personal entitlement issues, and gender
stereotypes
