Synopsis

Leadership expert Meghan French Dunbar shows how to boost performance and at the same time make the workplace better for women, and, ultimately, business at large Lean in. Rise and grind. Work smarter, not harder. Many books for women promise tips and tricks to achieve wealth and success in a business world made by men. But on the way to the top, most women leaders (and many men, too!) struggle with anxiety, stress, guilt, and burnout. Playing by the rules in a male-dominated game isn’t working—for anyone.   This Isn’t Working inspires women to reexamine how we do business and shows there are much healthier, more fulfilling ways to succeed in the business world that don’t require sacrificing ourselves. In this book, Meghan French Dunbar shares the insights, frameworks, and practical advice she has learned from over a decade of work with impactful women business leaders, from start-up founders to multinational CEOs. She argues that it’s time to move beyond business cultures marked by competition and aggression and instead embrace healthier leadership and workplace practices, which are proven to yield better results.   This Isn’t Working provides readers with an empathetic and honest business playbook for improving individual and business performance so that everyone can thrive.

Five stars, no notes. Meghan French Dunbar put words to things I’ve felt for years but couldn’t quite name... about work, burnout, success, all of it. Every chapter hits like a reality check and a relief at the same time. It’s part personal story, part leadership shakeup, part call to build something......more

As a recovering member of the burn out cycle club, I connect strongly with the mission of this book. Meghan's writing is honest and clear, with real and specific solutions. I was so inspired, I bought a second copy for my colleague and highlighted a part I knew was just what she needed to read. It's......more
