Since the publication of his international bestseller What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, busine…

"High-profile women who seek to rise are routinely criticised as being "too ambitious". What does "too ambitious even mean? It seems to mean that any woman who is ambitious is unseemly, over-the-top, too nakedly self-interested to be trusted. Men are often described as ambitious, ofcourse, but rarely with the qualifier "too". It seems primarily reserved for ambitious women.Sits not very surprising that even very successful women are often reluctant to describe themselves as ambitious."

-Sally Helgesen, How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job

"Belief that Women should always be role models for others: The idea that high-profile women do not get to make their own life choices without first considering the potential impact upon all other women is a pernicious trap. Being successful is a demanding job while trying to maintain a rewarding personal life is tough enough for anyone in todays demanding work culture. Expecting women to calculate personal decisions based on how it will interpret them adds an extra burden. It is certainly not a burden men are expected to bear."
