While the first and second shifts may be physically exhausting, the third shift can be psychologically rending because many women use it to second-guess their motives, doubt their choices, and question their trade-offs. Michele Bolton shows women how to turn the third shift into a source of self-awareness and self-confidence instead. Drawing from a three-year study of women in Silicon Valley and her own experiences as a working mother, Bolton explores the three most important dilemmas all women face, whether they're corporate executives, entrepreneurs, or full-time moms. She then presents women with a practical plan for facing these dilemmas, making the hard choices, and embracing their decisions.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Managing the Third Shift: Choices and Challenges for Women.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE IDENTIFYING CHALLENGE: WHO ARE WE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Myth of Androgyny: Who Are We Supposed to Be?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Gender at Work: When Does It Matter?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A Business of One's Own: Who are We When We We're on Our Own?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From High-Rise to Hearth and Home: How Do We Thrive?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE TASK CHALLENGE: WHAT ARE WE TO DO?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Management 101 for Women: Doing What Matters.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Women Entrepreneurs: Balancing Logic and Emotion.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Women at Home: Understanding the Job Description.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE BALANCE CHALLENGE: WHO COMES FIRST?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Crux of the Matter: Defining Personal Achievement.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52410651902232,"sku":"9780787948542","price":18.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780787948542.jpg?v=1784246616","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-third-shift-managing-hard-choices-in-our-careers-homes-and-lives-as-women-paperback-softback-9780787948542","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
