Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office by Lois Frankel, Ph.D., is a non-fiction, self-help, and careers book that identifies and addresses 101 unconscious mistakes women make in the workplace that inadvertently sabotage their careers. The core premise is that behaviors women learn as girls—such as being polite, soft-spoken, and people-pleasing—often become career pitfalls in an adult business environment that still largely operates on different rules.
