Power is not working-for women for men or for the world. We don't need to remake women. We
need to remake power. New York Times bestselling authors Katty Kay and Claire Shipman are on a
mission to reclaim power for women. In the wake of sweeping changes in the way we work the
veteran journalists challenge preconceived notions of what power is and what it's good for
along with the insidious mostly hidden structures of the status quo that hold women back. What
started as a straightforward examination of best practices has become a manifesto for a new
form of power a distinctly female version that is already emerging in workplaces in politics
and on the home front. It's a version that is more appealing to women (and most men as well).
It offers women a blueprint for shaping their own professional futures maximizing their impact
for the benefit of others and experiencing the real joy that comes from taking the reins and
influencing outcomes. Writing from their own lived experiences Kay and Shipman interviewed
dozens of women of all ages races and backgrounds around the world as well as cutting-edge
academic researchers. Taken together these perspectives offer a clear-eyed and hopeful
redesign of the workplace and our relationships at home one that puts women in a remade and
modernized seat of power. And now is exactly the right moment for women to step into their
power. What's at stake is much greater than the next job it's about the need for a new vision
of what power can be for a new code that focuses not simply on hierarchy on having power over
others but also on purpose on what power can achieve. Both a prescription for societal change
and a pro-fessional guidebook for individual women The Power Code shows you how to leverage
the power you already have find new sources of power in yourself and your community and
remodel your workplace and your home-life to produce less ego more joy and maximum impact.
