Using a wealth of economic and social science research, Huston-a cognitive psychologist [...]-documents these stereotypes and shows how women are often trapped in situations where they can't come out ahead, no matter what they do....[How Women Decide] will resonate with any women trying to navigate treacherous career waters as well as with managers wondering how to increase diversity and get the best out of all their employees. One could also imagine it becoming required reading on Wall Street, where male-dominated thinking has caused so many problems. - New York Times Book Review Huston, writing in a cheerful, classroom voice, wants to give readers tools to take apart the frequently hostile response to women's decisions...In clear, declarative prose, [ How Women Decide ] dips readers' toes into stereotype threat and confirmation bias, role congruity theory, cortisol and stress studies and prospect theory. - Seattle Times To decide or not to decide? All leaders face that question, but Therese Huston shows us convincingly and compellingly that women's decisions are viewed and judged differently than men's. I thought I had read everything I needed to read on gender differences, but, as a CEO, this book showed me a new and critically important area in which we need to be very aware of our biases and take the steps Huston recommends to address them. -Anne-Marie Slaughter, author of Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family and President and CEO of New America Finally! A well-researched book that affirms the fact that, despite their self-doubts, women make great decision-makers. This book will help you to compete with your male counterparts with courage and confidence. -Lois P. Frankel, Ph.D., author of Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office and See Jane Lead How do women make decisions? In this thoughtful, well-researched book, Huston avoids pop-psych answers that assume all women are the same. Exploding stereotypes, but showing their effect on women's behavior, she offers intelligent guidance to the challenges and process of making decisions. -Carol Tavris, Ph.D., coauthor of Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) Skryť popis
