2018 by Bustle and Levo A Women@Forbes "Boss Moves Book Club" pick A candid guide for ambitious
women who want to succeed without losing themselves in the process Fran Hauser deconstructs the
negative perception of "niceness" that many women struggle with in the business world. If women
are nice they are seen as weak and ineffective but if they are tough they are labeled a
bitch. Hauser proves that women don't have to sacrifice their values or hide their authentic
personalities to be successful. Sharing a wealth of personal anecdotes and time-tested
strategies she shows women how to reclaim "nice" and sidestep regressive stereotypes about
what a strong leader looks like. Her accessible advice and hard-won wisdom detail how to
balance being empathetic with being decisive how to rise above the double standards that can
box you in how to cultivate authentic confidence that projects throughout a room and much
more. THE MYTH OF THE NICE GIRL is a refreshing dose of forward-looking feminism that will
resonate with smart professional women who know what they want and are looking for real advice
to take their career to the next level without losing themselves in the process.
