What's Holding You Back? Eight Critical Choices for Women's Success Paperback - 2001

by Linda Gong Austin

Austin argues in this bold book that the reason only ten percent of top-level managerial or professional positions are held by women is the self-imposed psychological glass ceiling that influences every decision women make in their lives. She gives readers eight life-defining choices that determine their ultimate level of accomplishment.


From the publisher

After thirty years of feminism, women continue to underachieve, occupying only 10 percent of top-level managerial or professional positions. And significant achievement-influential woman leaders and visionaries-is rarer still. The reason, argues this bold and inspiring book, lies in the self-imposed psychological glass ceiling, which influences every decision women make in their lives. What's Holding You Back? charts women's unique pathways to achievement and examines eight life-defining choices that determine their ultimate level of accomplishment.

First line

THE BEDROCK of all ambition is motivation-an intense and sustainable drive toward a specific goal.
