The much travail of females aspiring to top levels were previously alluded to invisible barriers or those unacknowledged by corporate firms, yet corporations have been known to suffer dire financial consequences for showing women the door at top level. Interactions with females in middle and upper management levels indicate that there are recurring limitations that could negate the core ethics of the workplace. While stakeholders in the public and private sector continue to propose solutions and advocate for remedies to the limits and ceilings placed on females, the numbers remain unchanged in the United States.   The question is why are corporations not placing females in top positions? And why are the warning signals of gender inequality still prevalent forty years after the glass ceiling was identified? Despite its adverse effect on governance, firm performance, etc.   Advancing Beyond the Ceiling deviates from the traditional approach of limiting the gender barrier dilemma to societal, natural, and organizational practices. The book researches into other female-imposed limiters, including issues of self-esteem, character traits, and career development gaps that could stall women advancement. The author proposes reasons for females to spearhead their advancement through scholarship, partnership, mentorship, and sponsorship, among other practices in their quest to crack the glass ceiling.  As a C-level executive in the banking sector till 2010 and a founder of an investment firm post in 2010, the author explores the struggles, setbacks, and stockades that place a ceiling on senior to middle female officers in their career trajectory.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147133632752,"sku":"9781524653262","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781524653262_p0.jpg?v=1763737788","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781524653262","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
