Praise for Break Your Own Rules

"Women are still underrepresented in the executive ranks. Flynn, Heath, and Holt have identified the six behaviors that keep even the most achievement-oriented women from reaching their highest potential. They've also recommended six new doable practices that can moveyou where you want to go."—Marshall Goldsmith, executive coach and bestselling author, What Got You Here Won't Get You There and Mojo

"Leadership experts Flynn, Heath, and Holt have delivered a gem. Break Your Own Rules explains exactly why so few women run organizationstoday, and what every woman can do Monday morning to change that. The book is an eye-opener and a life-changer."—Kathleen Parker, Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist and author, Save the Males: Why Men Matter, Why Women Should Care

"Break Your Own Rules is a myth-busting, truth-telling, tradition-defying powerhouse of a book. The six new rules revealed by the authors proclaim a modern Magna Carta for women that could revolutionize our workplaces, our homes, and our communities. But this is not just a book for women. The more female leaders organizations have, the more successful they are. Men must also read this book if they want to create a workplace that welcomes and sustains more and more women in their top managerial ranks. Stop wasting half of the most valuable talent we have in today's organizations. Buy this book and put it to use immediately."—Jim Kouzes, coauthor, The Leadership Challenge, and Dean's Executive Fellow of Leadership, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University

"Senior leadership has been especially elusive for women. The authors dismiss conventional corporate ladder wisdom, providing a clear and actionable strategy in a corporate lattice world where hierarchies are flatter and the rate of change is exponential. Their book helps women—and men—realize their leadership potential."—Cathleen Benko, bestselling author and vice chairman, Deloitte LLP
