Companies with more women in senior leadership perform better by virtually every financial measure. Women employees help boost creativity and can temper risky behavior—such as the financial gambles behind the 2008 economic collapse. Yet in the United States, ninety-five percent of Fortune 500 chief executives are men, and women hold only seventeen percent of seats on corporate boards.
In THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID, veteran media executive Joanne Lipman raises intriguing questions about how to find workable solutions that individual managers, organizations, and policy makers can employ to make work more equitable and rewarding for all professionals.
Joanne recently visited the HarperCollins office to speak to staff about her book. She is passionate and fierce, offering practical advice on how to create a safe and productive work space. This isn't a book written to shame, rather a catalyst for positive conversation.
The book was also featured on the 7 Books You Should Immediately Preorder list by Inc.
