What's Holding You Back? Eight Critical Choices for Women's Success Paperback - 2001

by Linda Austin

Add to wish list

Austin argues in this bold book that the reason only ten percent of top-level managerial or professional positions are held by women is the self-imposed psychological glass ceiling that influences every decision women make in their lives. She gives readers eight life-defining choices that determine their ultimate level of accomplishment.

Reader reviews for What's Holding You Back? Eight Critical Choices for Women's Success

From the publisher

After thirty years of feminism, women continue to underachieve, occupying only 10 percent of top-level managerial or professional positions. And significant achievement-influential woman leaders and visionaries-is rarer still. The reason, argues this bold and inspiring book, lies in the self-imposed psychological glass ceiling, which influences every decision women make in their lives. What's Holding You Back? charts women's unique pathways to achievement and examines eight life-defining choices that determine their ultimate level of accomplishment.

First line

THE BEDROCK of all ambition is motivation-an intense and sustainable drive toward a specific goal.
