About this product

Product Information

The Con Job tackles one of the biggest workplace cons of all time - the way most workplaces over-reward confidence, bravado and showmanship and undervalue competence, skill and expertise. Having interviewed nearly 40 senior leaders, from around the world Dr Suzanne Doyle-Morris uses the best of their advice and evidence on how we should be defining confidence so that it works for more of us - not just 'the status quo' of current leaders. Not progressing at work is often blamed on 'lack of confidence', but this excuse is a total con job. It misses genuine competence, conveniently rewards the status quo and distracts us from understanding the context of what really drives confidence in different groups of people. This hoax means we fail to get the right people into the best jobs. This book identifies the battles worth fighting to give you the skills you need to: Capitalise on what you are doing well to silence the 'imposter'. Convince others to value your hard-earned experience. Redefine confidence so it doesn't continue to advantage the 'status quo'. Are you ready to debunk the greatest 'Con Job' in order to get ahead?
