Features: This book describes common difficult situations in women's work and discusses their causes and solutions, offering suggestions. The book consists of 16 chapters, broadly covering three aspects: First, dealing with issues related to oneself, including how to find one's own starting point in interpersonal interactions, how to understand and express one's needs, opinions, and emotions; Second, issues related to interactions with others, including how to criticize others and accept criticism, how to exercise one's power; Third, interactions with more abstract environments and cultures, including how to face inevitable gender and racial discrimination. These three aspects are not entirely separate but are interconnected, with an emphasis on self-awareness throughout. Regardless of the situation, we must understand what our behavioral goals are, where our strengths lie, and what is within our control and what is not.
