Publisher's summary
A new kind of novel to spark discussion and change
Professional women are tired of being told to just "lean in".
What about...
- the challenges that make it harder for women to lean in,
- the unequal rewards and penalties when they do, and
- the fact that “leaning in and acting more like men” ignores the stereotypically feminine traits needed for modern leadership?
Beyond Leaning In tells the story of Debra, a pioneering CEO in her early 60s who is much beloved by her team at her growing start-up. But sales are declining, and her strongest women leaders are departing one after the other.
It isn’t until she enlists the “reverse mentorship” of the much younger Cassandra that Debra begins to understand the challenges the next generation of women leaders face and the impact on the bottom line. But can she respond fast enough to save her company and her job?
Beyond Leaning In is a different kind of business book - based on research, but told as a novel and designed to spark discussion among friends, family, classmates, and co-workers across genders and generations.
Through the perspective of female and male characters across generations, listeners gain new insights about why gender gaps are so hard to close despite our best intentions. We are inspired to think differently about what both individuals and organizations must do to ensure all employees thrive.

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, treating men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women.

Dr. Arline T. Geronimus coined the term “weathering” to describe the effects of systemic oppression—including racism and classism—on the body. In Weathering, based on more than 30 years of research, she argues that health and aging have more to do with how society treats us than how well we take care of ourselves. She explains what happens to human bodies as they attempt to withstand and overcome the challenges and insults that society leverages at them, and details how this process ravages their health. And she proposes solutions.

Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you’re likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into our inner coach but find our inner critic instead. When we’re facing a tough task, our inner coach can buoy us up: Focus - you can do this. But, just as often, our inner critic sinks us entirely: I’m going to fail. They’ll all laugh at me. What’s the use?

The Fearless Organization offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent, but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of "fitting in" and "going along" spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule, or intimidate.

But as Emma teaches, what most often holds us back are our own fears, excuses, and doubts. With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It, Emma shares a rallying cry for all women to “do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again”.

But as Emma teaches, what most often holds us back are our own fears, excuses, and doubts. With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It, Emma shares a rallying cry for all women to “do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again”.

I appreciate the novel format bringing together all perspectives. Some characters are cast initially in negative way, yet their position is explained later on.

Could not put it down!
I loved this book. It showed all the things I have felt and experienced in my career over my working lifetime in a real and relatable way. This book made me realize that I even have mental auto completes that I was not aware of even though I thought I was a "woke" female. It allowed me to have a tough conversation with my husband and he is now reading the book to fully understand my emotions and experiences I have had. I highly recommend this book to everyone and anyone. it is a must read!
