The Myth Of The Nice Girl: Achieving a Career You Love Without Becoming a Person You Hate

This candid guide for ambitious women aims to help them succeed without sacrificing their values or hiding their personalities. Author Fran Hauser challenges the negative perception of “niceness” in the business world. Women who are perceived as nice are often seen as weak, while those who are tough are labeled as aggressive.

Hauser shares personal anecdotes and strategies from her network of women leaders to reclaim the “nice” label and avoid regressive stereotypes about strong leadership. She emphasizes balancing empathy with decisiveness, overcoming double standards, and cultivating authentic confidence. This refreshing feminist advice will resonate with women seeking realistic career guidance.
