Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Nice Girls Just Don't Get It empowers women to move beyond the limitations of β€˜nice girl’ behaviourβ€”acquiescing to others at their own expenseβ€”and instead become β€˜winning women’ who assert their needs confidently.

Co-authors Carol M. Frohlinger and Lois P. Frankel offer practical strategies to help women stand up to difficult people, set healthy boundaries, and achieve greater happiness and success in every area of life, from family dynamics to the workplace.

The book guides readers on how to handle everyday challenges such as delegating household chores, voicing complaints politely, declining unreasonable requests, and addressing workplace issues effectively.

Book Hero thinking about your next read

From the author of the international bestseller, NICE GIRLS DON'T GET THE CORNER OFFICE, comes a book that takes her acclaimed advice out of the workplace and teaches you how to turn your NICE GIRL persona into a WINNING WOMAN attitude and to get what you want in any area of your life.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Have you ever felt invisible? Taken advantage of? Reluctant or unable to articulate what you really want? If so, join the club. The nice girls club. Nice girls are those who behave the way others want them to, sacrificing their own needs.

Winning women, on the other hand, aren't afraid to stand up to difficult people, set appropriate boundaries, and consider their own needs as well as the needs of others. Which would you rather be?

In 2004, Lois P. Frankel's bestselling book, Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, blew the lid off our long-held ideas about gender and success. Now Lois has teamed up with negotiation expert Carol Frohlinger to take this advice beyond the boundaries of the workplace and provide a broader set of knowledge and skills that any woman can use with anyone, anywhere, at any time.

Offering indispensable strategies and tactics for how to become happier and more successful in every aspect of your life, by the time you've finished reading Nice Girls Just Don't Get It, you'll be transformed from a nice girl to a winning woman forever and will have learned how to:

  • Get your family to do their share of the housework
  • Send back a meal that isn't prepared the way you ordered it
  • Politely decline when asked to do an unreasonably large favour
  • Confront a colleague who is shirking responsibility or taking credit for your work

And much more...

Now, in NICE GIRLS JUST DON T GET IT, she teams up with negotiation expert Frohlinger to take her acclaimed nice girls concept beyond the boundaries of the workplace and explain why being too nice doesn t just cost us the corner office, it holds us back in our relationships, our friendships, and all other aspects of our personal lives.
