After Marissa Orr, a single mother of three, spent fifteen years working at today's tech giants like Facebook and Google, she became frustrated with the companies' efforts to promote more women. The lectures, workshops, and trainings delivered the subtle message that success requires adopting the behavior of her male colleagues. Orr believes that closing the gender gap in corporate America won't improve women's lives, because the goal stems from a male worldview, built on the premise of female inferiority--and that's why the numbers at the top have barely budged, despite thirty years of trying.;Silencing the lambs -- Free to be just like me -- The confidence gap -- Putting the men in mentor -- School vs. work -- #SorryNotSorry -- The power reward -- It's the system, stupid! -- A new way forward -- Well-being vs. winning.;Based on in-depth research and personal experiences, Lean Out is inspired by the journey of Marissa Orr, a single mom of three trying to succeed in her fifteen-year career at the worlds top tech giants. In an eye-opening account, Orr exposes the systemic dysfunction at the heart of today's most powerful corporations and how their pursuit to close the gender gap has come at the expense of female well-being.
