But women remain underrepresented in positions of power and status. The gender pay gap, for example, shows little movement, largely because high-paying jobs are the most gender-imbalanced. Even in areas where there are roughly equal numbers of men and women, or where women actually make up the majority, leadership ranks remain male-dominated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe endurance of these inequalities begs the question: Why haven't we made more progress? A 2020 analysis by a team of sociologists affirms that progress, as measured by rates of women's employment, earnings, and the types of fields and jobs they work in, has either stalled completely or slowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith fifty years of sweeping reforms in educational and corporate policy, it's tempting to think that any remaining gender imbalances reflect differences in individual merit or behaviour, not organisational barriers. Much of the popular media supports this idea, with countless books and articles offering advice on what women should do to overcome challenges: lean in, speak up, do power poses, stop apologising, and delegate more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmmerman and Groysberg focus instead on the pervasive organisational obstacles and managerial actions that create gender imbalance. Bringing to light the key findings from the latest research in psychology, sociology, and economics, \u003ci\u003eGlass Half-Broken\u003c\/i\u003e shows that along their entire career path—from entry- to mid- to senior-level positions—women get pushed out of the leadership pipeline and, at each point, for different reasons. Presenting institutional and managerial strategies designed to overcome and mitigate these barriers at each step in the career path, \u003ci\u003eGlass Half-Broken\u003c\/i\u003e is the authoritative resource that managers and leaders at all levels can use to finally shatter the glass ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46719855886572,"sku":"9781633695931","price":70.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18206803482769.jpg?v=1754577944"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/colleen-ammerman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
