Synopsis

Disrupters shows what different women in business have done to reach success as they define it. From board members to CEOs to freelancers, the business world is stacked against women because they follow the unspoken rules of business culture made long before women entered the workforce.

Tech executive, board member, and angel investor Dr. Patti Fletcher recognizes those rules and then showcases the women who have found success by breaking them. With exciting insights and uplifting stories, Disrupters demystifies what it takes to go where so few have gone before by:

● Exploring the mindsets that help or hinder success against all odds

● Discovering the right time to begin the journey to a role that feels too big and too hard to obtain

● Learning the habits, tactics, and relationships that separate those who succeed from those who do not

● Building a personal board of directors that will catapult you to the professional boardroom

● Revealing what it means to achieve your own version of success with case studies and interviews with women of diverse races, ages, backgrounds, and industries

Tihti on need, kes teevad otsuseid, harjunud tegema vadi ühtmoodi. Mõtlemata, et ka teisiti saab. Ja tihti on naised ise selle vana süsteemi mõtte kand......more

Goodreads review by Brenda on February 10, 2018

The author does a great job of leading the reader through examples of success defined by both traditional and non traditional careers. Through real life stories of women who have carved their own paths, the reader is encouraged to not be limited nor defined solely by their gender to achieve their go......more

Goodreads review by Dan on June 11, 2019

This book is equally heart breaking inspiring, definitely a must-read! I love how the author profiles interviews such a diverse collection of successful women, along side her own story. That strategy sets it apart from the typical autobiographical approach often found in books like this. She definit......more
