De tal madre, tal empresa

'Un alegato en favor de las madres trabajadoras, más ambiciosas, más creativas y más productivas de lo que se cree. ¿Quién no ha oído nunca eso de que las madres no rinden en una empresa porque tienen la cabeza en otra parte? La propia Sarah Lacy pensaba así, hasta que fue madre. Entonces descubrió que todo lo que le habían dicho al respecto era lo contrario de lo que ella había experimentado al ser madre: «Estaba más centrada, me volví más ambiciosa, más productiva. Y desarrollé ese súper poder que se llama empatía. No cambié. Seguí siendo la misma, pero para mejor». En este libro, divertido y duro a la vez, la autora va desmontando uno por uno todos los tópicos que han hecho creer a muchas mujeres durante décadas que, si trabajaban, no serían buenas madres, y a muchos empresarios que, una madre, nunca sería una buena trabajadora, poniendo ejemplos de destacadas CEO de Silicon Valley y su propio ejemplo como emprendedora y fundadora de PandoDaily.'

Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky: How the Top 1% of Entrepreneurs Profit from Global Chaos

Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people whom Lacy calls true entrepreneurs, and upon whom she has bestowed the title of Outside Entrepreneurs. This group is a complex, cultural mash-up, comprised in part of those 19th century, old-world immigrants who started fledgling businesses because they had no other options, as well as the 21st century Silicon Valley whiz kids backed by millions in sophisticated investor cash. They are a product of their own cultures and our own turbulent economic times.  Outside Entrepreneurs are those who are taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities--earning billions in U.S. cash.  To tell this story, Lacy spends six weeks in six different cities around the world -- London, England; Tel Aviv, Israel; Kigali, Rwanda; Mumbai, India; Beijing, China and Guadalajara, Mexico -- that are standing on the brink of economic and political opportunity and volatility. The individuals that she follows are distinct products of their own cultures, yet they share that same unmistakable cocktail of delusion, ambition, and brilliance thats driven Bill Gates, Fred Smith, Donald Trump, and every other iconic American entrepreneur of the last few decades.

A Uterus Is a Feature, Not a Bug: The Working Woman's Guide to Overthrowing the Patriarchy

A rally cry for working mothers everywhere that demolishes the "distracted, emotional, weak" stereotype and definitively shows that these professionals are more focused, decisive, and stronger than any other force. Working mothers aren't a liability. They are assets you-and every manager and executive-want in your company, in your investment portfolio, and in your corner. There is copious academic research showing the benefits of working mothers on families and the benefits to companies who give women longer and more flexible parental leave. There are even findings that demonstrate women with multiple children actually perform better at work than those with none or one. Yet despite this concrete proof that working mothers are a lucrative asset, they still face the "Maternal Wall"-widespread unconscious bias about their abilities, contributions, and commitment. Nearly eighty percent of women are less likely to be hired if they have children-and are half as likely to be promoted. Mothers earn an average $11,000 less in salary and are held to higher punctuality and performance standards. Forty percent of Silicon Valley women said they felt the need to speak less about their family to be taken more seriously. Many have been told that having a second child would cost them a promotion. Fortunately, this prejudice is slowly giving way to new attitudes, thanks to more women starting their own businesses, and companies like Netflix, Facebook, Apple, and Google implementing more parent-friendly policies. But the most important barrier to change isn't about men. Women must rethink the way they see themselves after giving birth. As entrepreneur Sarah Lacy makes clear in this cogent, persuasive analysis and clarion cry, the strongest, most lucrative, and most ambitious time of a woman's career may easily be after she sees a plus sign on a pregnancy test.
