Drawing on decades of experience reaching the top of Fortune 500 companies, Grace Puma and Christiana Smith Shi show women how to maximize their career journeys, get paid what they’re worth, navigate the shifts that occur in any company, build a leadership identity, and have a full life in and out of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors challenge negative stereotypes about female ambition, and urge women to be bold, follow their dreams, and seize the chance to lead \"big\" lives. The secret is to focus on career first, job second. Instead of chasing a better job title or a salary bump, the goal should be a long-range career path that leads to success. \"Career forward\" means keeping a focus on the future and recognising that being good at your job is often not enough—that you should take every opportunity to boost your connections, take on \"difficult\" assignments, and work actively to broaden your skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePacked with personal anecdotes and wisdom from women who've been there, and featuring quizzes and checklists for self-evaluation, \u003cem\u003eCareer Forward\u003c\/em\u003e provides a wealth of valuable lessons, including the advice to think of yourself as a \"growth stock\" and, instead of chasing the elusive work-life balance, living a well-rounded 360-degree life that fully embraces both.
