But after sixteen years working with major Fortune 500 companies as a leading gender-equality expert, Michelle P. King has realised one simple truth: the tired advice of fixing women doesn’t fix anything. The reality is that workplaces are gendered; they were designed by men for men. Based on King’s research and exclusive interviews with major companies and thought leaders, The Fix reveals the hidden sexism and invisible barriers holding women back at work every day.   Women are passed over for promotions, paid less and pushed out of the workforce – not because they aren’t good enough, but because they don’t fit the masculine ideal. In this fascinating and empowering book, King reveals the barriers that inhibit women – and men – at all stages of their careers and provides readers with a clear set of takeaways to help them thrive as they fight for change from within.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49549725597969,"sku":"GOR010407207","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49567993495825,"sku":"GOR010486069","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1471193039.jpg?v=1751438468"},{"product_id":"how-work-works-book-michelle-p-king-9780063224575","title":"How Work Works","description":"A PORCHLIGHT BEST BUSINESS BOOK AWARD WINNER  AN INC. MAGAZINE NON-OBVIOUS BOOK AWARDS PICK  A unique and revelatory guide to understanding and navigating the unwritten rules of the workplace—the key to achieving success, finding meaning, and staying true to your authentic self in today’s business world—from the organizational expert and celebrated author of The Fix.  In her two decades researching organizations, Michelle King has discovered that people who succeed possess a particularly unique skill: They know how workplaces work. More specifically, to get ahead, they do not rely on the often generic and outdated written formal rules that for a century have defined the workplace. Instead, they have learned to gauge how they should behave and perform by becoming aware of informal (and unspoken) rules that exist just below the surface, rather than “formal” organizational guidelines. In this one-of-a-kind guide, King offers her proprietary framework based on over ten years of research and hundreds of employees who reached leadership positions. By focusing on five key areas -- navigating informal networks; developing self-awareness and awareness of others; learning the skills you need to be adaptive to changing conditions; getting support for your next promotion; and finding meaning and fulfillment at work—King teaches every professional how to understand and make these systems work for them and achieve their career ambitions.  The new world of work requires a new way of working. With more people vying for top positions, a volatile unpredictable global workplace, and an ever-evolving landscape, it is increasingly important for employees to understand how to negotiate the unspoken and intangible elements of workplace culture.. In How Work Works, King dispels old myths and provides keen observations about what it means to find belonging, build networks, manage the informal and ultimately thrive at work.  This practical guide offers a new playbook for career success:      The Unwritten Rules: Learn to “read the air” and master the informal, unspoken guidelines that truly govern how you get ahead. Informal Networks: Move beyond formal hierarchies and discover how to build the authentic connections that provide career-defining support and information. Self-Awareness Framework: Understand the critical difference between how you see yourself and how others see you, and learn to bridge the gap. Future-Proof Your Career: Master the adaptive strategies needed to thrive in today’s volatile, hybrid, and remote work environments. Meaningful Advancement: A step-by-step system to get the support you need for your next promotion while finding genuine fulfillment in what you do.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49568102940945,"sku":"GOR013337149","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49569549975825,"sku":"GOR013596289","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49751982047505,"sku":"NGR9780063224575","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50343749943569,"sku":"CIN0063224577G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50475021566225,"sku":"CIN0063224577VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999205626129,"sku":"NIN9780063224575","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53505337295121,"sku":"GOR014950820","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0063224577.jpg?v=1751455600"},{"product_id":"fix-book-michelle-p-king-9781982110925","title":"The Fix","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn the vein of \u003ci\u003e#Girlboss \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eNice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office\u003c\/i\u003e, discover how to thrive at work from the head of the Global Innovation Coalition for Change at UN Women with this passionate, practical roadmap for addressing inequality and finally making our workplaces work for women (Arianna Huffington). \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor years, we've been telling women that in order to succeed at work, they have to change themselves first--\u003ci\u003elean in\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003enegotiate like a man, don't act too nice or you'll never get the corner office\u003c\/i\u003e.

Women who speak up are seen as pushy. Women who ask for a raise are seen as difficult. Women who spend hours networking don't get the same career benefits as men do. Because women don't look like the ideal worker and can't behave like the ideal worker, they are passed over for promotions, paid less, and pushed out of the workforce, not because they aren't good enough, but because they aren't men. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this fascinating and empowering book, King outlines the invisible barriers that hold women back at all stages of their careers, and provides readers with a clear set of takeaways to thrive despite the sexist workplace, as they fight for change from within. Gender equality is not about women, and it is not about men--it is about making workplaces work for everyone. Together, we can fix work, not women.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49581293699345,"sku":"GOR011728974","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49769132720401,"sku":"CIN1982110929G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50431531745553,"sku":"CIN1982110929VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1982110929.jpg?v=1751438734"},{"product_id":"fix-book-michelle-p-king-9781471193064","title":"The Fix","description":"A guide to overcoming the invisible barriers that hold women back at work.
