Glass Walls: Shattering the Six Gender Bias Barriers Still Holding Women Back at Work is an incredible resource for any leader looking to better understand womens’ experience in the modern workplace and develop very practical strategies to make it better.
Glass Walls highlights and – very importantly – names the specific ways women face barriers and biases at work. It not only provides a comprehensive index of how gender bias manifests in most workplaces, it offers thorough explanations and helpful examples to illustrate each.
One thing that sets this book apart in its approach is a focus on practical action items. For every identified barrier and bias, the book lists specific things each of us can do to address them, organized into 3 categories: leaders, women, and allies.
From interruptions and talking over to taking credit for women's ideas, it serves as a comprehensive toolkit for anyone who experiences bias in the workplace but, perhaps even more importantly, the male colleagues and allies who want to do and be better allies.
