Collaborative Competition: A Woman's Guide to Succeeding by Competing

Kathryn shares her stories and findings from 20 years as a leadership development executive as well as her extensive interviews with women leaders from highly competitive fields. Kathryn coaches you through exercises and examples, how and why to avoid falling into the trap of seeing competition as cutthroat and threatening, instead creating a new positive approach! While this book is targeted to women, it is also valuable for men as it explores skills that are critical to all successful professionals. Collaborative Competition™ will accelerate career growth through: • Cultivating the strategic mindset and a personalized, healthy approach to competition • Forming partnerships with pacers who provide feedback, challenges, advice, and support • Managing challenging people and situations and turning stressful situations into competitive advantages

You hate organization politics, but seem like you can't avoid it ... Yes, you hit the glass ceiling!
