What to expect

'Will help you do the best work of your life' Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor

'A must-read' Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again

'With warmth, humour, and powerful personal stories, Fragale provides women with actionable advice for achieving greater success in the workplace' Sheryl Sandberg, bestselling author of Lean In

Want to earn credit for your accomplishments, negotiate better, and navigate complex office politics while still being liked by your colleagues? Likeable Badass is the ultimate guide to advance in any workplace, full of tips, tricks, and strategies to help you get the success you deserve.

Many women's workplace issues boil down to status. No amount of power-- no degree, title, or salary-- will raise a woman's workplace stature unless it also affects how others perceive her. Acknowledging this roadblock, behavioural scientist Alison Fragale pulls back the curtain on how we can change how others see us by developing our standing as a "likeable badass." Through cultivating perceptions of warmth and assertiveness, women can achieve the kind of reputation that leads to a seat at the table and a fulfilling career path.

Likeable Badass weaves together powerful new insights with actionable advice and impactful stories from a diverse array of women. This is a warm, heartening book written for women, their allies, and anyone who struggles to rise, and wants evidence-based, practical strategies for success.

Critics Review

Alison Fragale hits it out of the park with this deeply practical, science-backed read, full of easy-to-implement strategies to increase your status, power, and influence. I loved this book!
Annie Duke, bestselling author of Thinking in Bets and Quit
In Likeable Badass, Alison Fragale dives deep into the science behind gender bias and stereotypes - and how we can challenge them. With warmth, humor, and powerful personal stories, she provides women with actionable advice for achieving greater success in the workplace.

Ai-jen Poo, Executive Director of Caring Across Generations and President of the National Domestic Workers Alliance
In her deeply-researched and business-savvy book, Fragale shatters the conventional wisdom about power, status, and the path to professional success. Her strategies for gaining advocates are brilliant - and her blueprint for strategic self-promotion will have you rereading this invaluable guide over and over.
Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret, Drive, and To Sell Is Human
A playbook for getting ahead, especially useful for female entrepreneurs looking to break barriers and smash through outdated ceilings
Forbes
Alison Fragale is doing something different . . . Fragale's book is for anyone who wants to know the secrets of getting ahead - or just going through life at your own pace - without being a self-promoter or a hard-ass: someone who no one respects or likes. She comes across as a thoroughly likeable badass herself - this is a genuinely original and useful book.
Financial Times
Insightful and practical! Alison Fragale provides an important and urgently-needed look at how women are denied status and power in the workplace, and the evidence-based strategies that can help change this reality.
Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Deep Work
