Description

Sallie Krawcheck, former Wall Street powerhouse-turned entrepreneur, shows women how to take their careers to the next level by playing by a new set of rules that build on their natural strengths. So much career advice for women addresses how to succeed in the static business world of yesterday and today. But that world, says Krawcheck, is changing—and fast. In fact, we are on the brink of what Krawcheck calls the Fourth Wave of feminism, one that will usher in unprecedented opportunities for women in business. This all is being driven by the fact that the business world is evolving in ways that play to women's strengths. Because in the increasingly complex and connected world of tomorrow—one in which communication and collaboration rule the day—the skills and qualities needed for success are ones that women inherently possess. And by owning and investing in those qualities, women have more power than ever.
