Her Place at the Table provides 5 key suggestions for women navigating leadership roles in the workplace. The most helpful part of this book comes from the real life examples of how women put these guidelines into place in their own leadership transitions. Their experiences allow the reader to understand the benefits and challenges of heeding the book's advice.

The book is also helpful in that it provides avenues for women to lead out of their strengths, rather than by trying to fit a mold previously set by male counterparts.

Even with the attention on women, I believe that this book can transcend gender boundaries in many ways, providing helpful feedback for anyone navigating the leadership landscape.

This book discusses many of the same issues raised in Lean In but with concrete actions one can take to overcome them. I read this for a leadership series I'm participating in but will most certainly return to it when I need to negotiate at the start of a new job or assignment.
