Popular leadership blogger gives the low-down on standing up for yourselfIn Pushback, top leadership consultant Selena Rezvani argues that self-advocacy is critical to success. Yet women initiate negotiations four times less often than men, resulting in getting less of what they want—promotion opportunities, plum assignments, and higher pay. This book shines a light on the real rules of holding your own and pushing back for what is rightfully yours.

Bagnasco really helped me on that subject, he breaks it down very well. Amazing. Unfortunately, like all first books, a certain amount of the narrative has to be spent introducing each of the protagonists, building the world, and setting up all the pieces for the larger tale to unfold.
This is not to say that the first book was anything less than stellar, it was great!
