Thoroughly researched and clearly written, Standing at the Crossroads speaks to the whole professional woman and her organization, providing a framework for guiding a woman's growth and development as a high- achieving leader. The authors debunk the common myth that women must give up life's other roles to be successful professionally, and offer research conducted by the Center for Creative Leadership in conjunction with participants in The Women's Leadership Program to show that multiple roles in fact benefit and enhance women's managerial performance. The book provides individuals and their organizations with invaluable advice they can use to support women's development as managers and leaders.

Saber manejar los límites entre el trabajo y la vida personal es esencial para optimizar la productividad y la eficacia tanto en el trabajo como en el hogar. Si estos límites no son claros o no logra manejarlos bien, puede encontrarse con un sinnúmero de problemas, como errores en el trabajo, falta de coordinación organizacional, y mayor estrés y tensión. Los líderes exitosos emplean diferentes técnicas para abordar todos los aspectos de su vida; por ejemplo, establecer límites claros, emplear una buena administración del tiempo, manejar las transiciones entre los roles laborales y los roles familiares, y utilizar metas como una manera de organizar su vida. Para comprender cuál es su situación actual ante la división trabajo-vida personal, debe analizar sus comportamientos (lo que habitualmente hace), su identidad (dónde prefiere invertir su tiempo y su energía) y el control percibido (su capacidad de decidir cuándo, dónde y cómo ocuparse de sus responsabilidades laborales y familiares). Al combinar los datos de estas tres categorías, podrá diseñar un plan de desarrollo integral que le permitirá lograr sus objetivos tanto en su casa como en su trabajo, para que pueda tener una vida plena y exitosa.

Filled with concrete and actionable advice, Resilience That Works guides you through personalized strategies for developing lasting resilience.
