1-Page Summary of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office

Overview

When someone in business calls you a nickname, they’re essentially treating you like a child. To make sure people take you seriously, use your full name when introducing yourself and only answer to that name. If people usually call you by a nickname, introduce yourself with your formal name at first so people get used to it.

Even though women have made progress in the past few years, they still earn less than men. Women are also less likely to hold influential positions. For example, only 3.8 percent of CEOs at Fortune 500 companies are women.

Although women are equal to men in the western world, they still face discrimination. This is due to many factors that can’t be changed by one woman alone. However, women themselves can change their behavior towards others and avoid being labeled bossy or unfeminine when competing with other people.

This book will help you understand why women don’t get the corner office in many businesses. It will show how to be competitive and not let your femininity hurt you, all while finding a balance between the two.

In this article, you will find out why some people get promoted by working less and smiling more, why it’s okay to use your relationships for personal gain at work, and how to play Monopoly so that you don’t lose.

Big Idea #1: There is still a lot of work to be done for women in business.

Did you know that American women lost their citizenship if they married a man from another country until 1934? Or that West German women weren’t allowed to sign their own work contracts without the approval of their husbands until 1977? In fact, most American and European women didn’t get the right to vote before World War I.

In the past, women were not treated equally. They couldn’t vote or own property. However, in many Western countries today, women are almost equal to men. But there is still a gender gap when it comes to careers and paychecks. For example, women earn less than men on average.

Hispanic women in the United States earn 59 percent of what Hispanic men make for doing the same job. Additionally, Caucasian women make 77 percent of their male co-workers as well. In addition, first year college graduates who are women fall behind by 8% and 20 years after college that gap widens to 20%.

Women are less likely to be in high-paying jobs or have a lot of influence all over the world.

There are not many female executives in the world and there are no female heads of state.

Big Idea #2: Women are taught to be humble and not as confident.

Have you ever felt guilty for winning at Monopoly? It turns out that women are just as likely to feel this way as men, though it’s less common. But why is that? Women and girls are raised to be passive and agreeable, so they don’t want to compete or assert themselves. From a young age, girls are taught not to be aggressive or self-assertive. For example, parents often punish their daughters for being too aggressive while tolerating the same behavior from boys. Girls’ toys like Barbie dolls teach them how to look attractive instead of encouraging competition; boys’ toys like wrestling action figures teach them how to fight and compete with each other rather than cooperate with others. Since society discourages women from competing aggressively in many ways—for instance by criticizing female politicians who get violent when they’re happy about winning an election—women aren’t used to feeling good about beating someone else in a competition unless they do it politely without seeming too competitive!

Continual behavioral expectations for women mean that if they act like men, they may be ridiculed or criticized for being “bossy.”
