Popular leadership blogger gives the low-down on standing up for yourself

In Pushback, top leadership consultant Selena Rezvani argues that self-advocacy is critical to success. Yet women initiate negotiations four times less often than men, resulting in getting less of what they want—promotion opportunities, plum assignments, and higher pay. This book shines a light on the real rules of holding your own and pushing back for what is rightfully yours. Drawing on interviews with high-level leaders, Rezvani offers readers in the first half of their career the unedited truth about how women have asked their way to the top and triumphed—and how you can too.

  • Includes interviews with top business leaders such as Marie Chandoha, CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management; Cindi Bigelow, President of Bigelow Tea Company; Fizzah Jafri, COO at Morgan Stanley; Rosemary Turner, President at UPS; and Irene Chang Britt, Chief Strategy Officer at Campbell's Soup
  • Offers a reliable and methodic approach to negotiating and navigating tough conversations
  • Highlights compelling facts and research from the world of psychology and leadership
  • Insightful and accessible, Pushback is a timely resource for savvy women who want to leverage their skills, promote themselves effectively, and fast track their careers.

        More than 30 years ago, Roger Fisher and William Ury defined the how-to's of workplace negotiations in Getting to Yes. Consultant Rezvani (author of The Next Generation of Women Leaders, 2009) takes that process a few steps further, this time for women. The business case for the ask is well documented: not raising hands and requesting a raise, a promotion, or a work change could cost nearly $1 million over a lifetime of employment. The author uses a combination of hardheaded processes and soft skills to promote the art of self-advocacy; much of the four-step methodologyprepare psychologically, do homework, maneuver through conversations, follow upis oriented to instinct and style. Adding persuasion to the mix is Rezvani's wide array of interviews with prominent women business leaders, including executives from Campbell's Soup and MetLife, among others. The not-so-subtle cheerleading inserts are proof of the need for assertiveness in the corporate world.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
