Excelle

The article are actual proven facts, most of them have happend to me at one time in my career. I seem to always think you will be rewarded for your good works instead of expressing my interest up front. I have a tendency of doing too much and then over looked at the end. I always take that step forward help out anyone in any department and try to help out the entire organization for the best. Today I only find out that this really doesn't work in today's business world. Seems like ethics and value doesn't go very far in this world. I'm not the type of person who does cover up for co-workers infractions because I always believe that people should come forward and just say heck I made a mistake and suggest how do we fix it? But, seems like no one wants to take responsibility for there actions and blame others.
I am motivated and I think women need to speak up and make suggestions because executives do listen so it's really time to speak up.

Great points. "Assuming You'll be Rewarded for a Job Well Done" and "Waiting for Permission" are two key points. The women who do an excellent job and are ready to move up will rarely get the opportunity to unless they express interest. I think women have a tendency to wait to be tapped on the shoulder more than stepping forward and asking.

I will always keep this in mind and be motivated and definitely make this as my career guide, thank you so much for this article..
More Power to you!!

Excellent article. I appreciate your directness and not beating around the bush. I mistakenly fell victim to many of these practices in my last employment, learning to implement new strategy to succeed.

This makes for a good headline but these things are not specific to women, I bet I can name many men who ahve bought more car than they can afford in less time than I can name any number of women.

Every year Fortune annouces their list of top influencial women in the world and it would serve us more to focus on what they have done and are doing to be effective and influencial if women truely want to be successful - in which ever way they choose.

Ladies I have more faith in your ability to do the things which will advance your career rather than sabotage it. It has less to do with gendar and more to do with learning how. Look to the example of those men & women) who have done it.
