When Linda Babcock asked why so many male graduate students were teaching their own courses and most female students were assigned as assistants, her dean said: "More men ask. The women just don't ask." It turns out that whether they want higher salaries or more help at home, women often find it hard to ask. Sometimes they don't know that change is possible--they don't know that they can ask. Sometimes they fear that asking may damage a relationship. And sometimes they don't ask because they've learned that society can react badly to women asserting their own needs and desires. By looking at the barriers holding women back and the social forces constraining them, "Women Don't Ask" shows women how to reframe their interactions and more accurately evaluate their opportunities. It teaches them how to ask for what they want in ways that feel comfortable and possible, taking into account the impact of asking on their relationships. And it teaches all of us how to recognize the ways in which our institutions, child-rearing practices, and unspoken assumptions perpetuate inequalities--inequalities that are not only fundamentally unfair but also inefficient and economically unsound. With women's progress toward full economic and social equality stalled, women's lives becoming increasingly complex, and the structures of businesses changing, the ability to negotiate is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Drawing on research in psychology, sociology, economics, and organizational behavior as well as dozens of interviews with men and women from all walks of life, "Women Don't Ask" is the first book to identify the dramatic difference between men and women in their propensity to negotiate for what they want. It tells women how to ask, and why they should.

In women's perception, their circumstances are more fixed and absolute—less negotiable—than they really are. It also highlights the assumption made by many women that someone or something else is in control. This assumption has a broad impact on women’s behaviour.
Instead of looking for ways to improve a difficult situation, women often assume that they are “stuck” with their circumstances. Instead of publicizing their accomplishments, they hope that hard work alone will earn them the recognition and rewards they deserve. Instead of expressing interest in new opportunities as they arise, they bide their time, assuming that they will be invited to participate if their participation is wanted. They think any allowable divergences from the status quo will be announced and offered to everyone... (查看原文)
Louise, 37, a high-ranking power company executive, routinely negotiates deals worth millions of dollars. But when it comes to her own compensation, she would rather be given what she deserves and spared the necessity of asking for it. In a well-managed company, she believes, senior management should recognize everyone’s individual contributions and give them what they’re worth. “They ought to just deal with those inequities,” she said. “And it shouldn’t be always on the employee to ask.”
Likewise, even though Christine learned early that she needs to promote her own interest on the job, she persists in feeling that when an industry is moving ahead and pay levels re increasing, valuable employees shouldn’t be forced to ask for their salaries to be adjusted accordingly. “My own feeling,” s...

快速浏览三小时，语言相当通俗易懂，分析得逻辑清晰，主题也很明确：第一，女人要用女人自己的优势方式学会与社会与男人沟通 首当其冲的是去争取自己值得拥有的机会；第二，重申社会对女性的平等观念。 比较有意思的是文中的一些男女比较实例研究 可发散思考 自娱自乐 😄

读前半本觉得还不错，有很多心态方面的洞见。后半本有些失望，感觉在读文件综述。我想学一些客服心态的方法，但是后面像在justify，没有很多帮助…

一扇打开新天地的大门。这不是一本关于negotiation的方法论的书，读这本书更多是意识的转变。让我首次意识到negotiation的重要性以及男女的大不同， 关于negotiation的女性心理上的描述我也是有很多共鸣。只可惜没早点看到这本书，感觉自己损失了几个亿。
