Work like a woman - Mary Portas
What’s in it
It's time for a mini-revolution. That's effectively what Mary Portas is telling us in her book.
Because if anyone thinks that gender equality in the workplace has been achieved then think again!
I don’t have to tell you that women encounter barriers in the workplace.
Mary Portas shows how she has encountered these same experiences. Having to fit into alpha male stereotypical behaviour to get on. Working all hours. How this doesn’t fit a lot of people's ideal of having a 'circular' career (where life and work fit seamlessly together).
Why I like it
Mary Portas gives some useful tips for women at every stage of their career and life. To help change cultures. To start this mini revolution.
Having read The Fix by Michelle King this book re-emphasizes the need to start making changes. Not just for women, but for and with men too!
You know it makes (business) sense!
