About this work

Description

"A new, important, and richly detailed guide to understanding gender bias, with practical solutions for leaders, workplace allies, and individual women. Gender bias is a powerful but hidden force that is still holding women back, keeping them from achieving their full potential and limiting organizations from achieving the creativity, problem solving, and growth that are possible with a diverse workforce. In this revealing book, Amy Diehl and Leanne M. Dzubinski shine a new light on gender bias in the workplace, uncovering the barriers that work like glass walls surrounding women and providing a roadmap to shatter them." -- Back cover.
