Mistakes I Made at Work: 25 Influential Women Reflect on What They Got Out of Getting It Wrong

High-achieving women share their worst mistakes at work--and how learning from them paved the way to success.Â Named by Fast Company as a "Top 10 Book You Need to Read This Year."

In Mistakes I Made at Work, a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Business Book for Spring 2014, Jessica Bacal interviews twenty-five successful women about their toughest on-the-job moments. These innovators across a variety of fields - from the arts to finance to tech - reveal that they're more thoughtful, purposeful and assertive as leaders because they learned from their mistakes, not because they never made any. Interviewees include:

Cheryl Strayed, bestselling author of Wild
Anna Holmes, founding editor of Jezebel.com
Kim Gordon, founding member of the band Sonic Youth
Joanna Barsch, Director Emeritus of McKinsey & Company
Carol Dweck, Stanford psychology professor
Ruth Ozeki, New York Times bestselling author of Tale for the Time Being

And many more . . .

Ideal for millenials just starting their careers, for women seeking to advance at work, or for anyone grappling with issues of perfectionism, Mistakes I Made at Work features fascinating and surprising anecdotes, as well as tips for readers.
