What to expect

Since 2004, Dr. Lois P. Frankel’s New York Times bestseller has been an essential resource for women seeking advice and empowerment to stop sabotaging their careers and get ahead in the workplace. This completely updated and revised vital new 3rd edition is everything a modern working girl needs to get what she wants.

We’ve leaned in, we’ve girl bossed, we’ve untamed, and it’s still challenging to be a woman at work. Though the workplace looks different than it did twenty years ago, women still face considerable challenges that men do not.

In this new 3rd edition of Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Dr. Lois P. Frankel teaches you how to reject the "nice girl" mentality, which manifests as a distinctive set of behaviors learned in girlhood that ultimately sabotage you as an adult, and still exists in today's modern workplace. Dr. Frankel provides tools and guidance for eliminating these unconscious mistakes that could be holding you back in your career. Mistakes such as:

Mistake #4: Believing Negative Self-Talk. Counter negative messages with positive ones. 
Mistake #26: Fear of Coming Across too Strong. Don't dumb down, shut down, or tone down—be assertive! 
Mistake #55: Poor Boundaries. If you're going to work from home, set boundaries.
Mistake #85: Doing Instead of Leading. Picking up others' slack becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. 

You have the power to take control of your career without being controlling, to speak your mind while still being respected, and to chase your ambitions without fear or shame.

Frohlinger, JD, Co-author of Her Place at the Table: A Woman's Guide to Negotiating Five Key Challenges to Leadership Success
"There are few books that spark a generation of change, and even fewer that earn the right to come back stronger two decades later. In this new edition of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office, Dr. Lois Frankel doesn’t just update her original message—she sharpens it. With clear-eyed candor, timely research, and hard-earned wisdom, she meets today’s workplace head-on and arms readers with the insight and confidence they need to rise. This book isn’t just relevant—it’s essential reading for women ready to challenge outdated norms and lead with both strength and authenticity.” —Dr. Marshall Goldsmith is the Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
“The depth and breadth of Dr. Lois Frankel’s experience working with professional women in corporate settings is what makes this book invaluable regardless of your age or career stage. She understands the realities of what it takes to achieve your goals without giving up the essence of who you are and provides the path for how you can move forward in a world littered with roadblocks.”—Dr. Patti McGill Peterson, President Emerita of St. Lawrence University and Wells College
“Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office offers valuable practical advice whether you are just launching your career or stepping into leadership, and will equip you to own your voice and take bold steps for the future you deserve. I recommend it to every woman ready to claim her seat at the table.” —Yolanda J. Gorman, PhD, Senior Advisor to the Chancellor and Chief of Staff, University of California, Los Angeles
“I’m a huge fan of Lois Frankel’s original Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office. It surgically dissects the habits that consistently undermine talented women. So, I’m grateful that Lois has written an update. Lois’s perspective on the confusing time in which we find ourselves is enlightening and on-point.”—Sally Helgesen, author, How Women Rise, The Female Vision, and The Female Advantage
