Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Dancing on the Glass Ceiling
Nancy Fredericks · 2013
74/100
👍 Worth It
Nancy Fredericks and Candy Deemer bring real Fortune 500 credibility and a research-backed argument that feminine leadership strengths are assets rather than liabilities — the quizzes and self-assessments give it a practical workshop feel rather than a pep talk. The framing around distinct feminine versus masculine styles may feel somewhat dated in 2026 workplace discourse, but the core career advancement tools hold up for professional women who find the framework useful.
