LADY YOU’RE THE BOSS! (PB)

A new call to action from the
bestselling author of Lady, You’re Not a Man!

‘So, do you intend to work after marriage?’

‘I am the COO of an organization. Obviously, I intend to work after
marriage!’

No man has ever been asked this question. For a working woman, it’s par for
the course. At work
and home, there is latent institutional discrimination and social prejudice
at play. Whether it is the
assumption that a career is only a stopgap until marriage or the reluctance
to promote married
women for fear that they will prioritize family over work, the climb to the
top is twice as steep for
women. As a result, they second-guess their own abilities and hesitate to
claim what is rightfully theirs.

To counter these roadblocks, Purohit compiles an essential action plan for
women: believe in yourself,
never minimize or question your achievements, resist stereotypes, and
constantly and fearlessly
call out biases. Through personal anecdotes and real-life stories of women
professionals, she offers indispensable lessons on successful leadership,
with practical insights into its fundamentals, like
effective communication, perseverance, prioritizing and personal
accountability.

Deeply poignant and often hilarious, Lady, You’re the Boss! is a woman
leader’s guide to breaking socially imposed and self-reinforced glass
ceilings, and growing to her full potential.
