Fisher-Yoshida writes an unusually introspective passage for a leadership or business advice book. But she does it in a way that doesn’t feel corny or diverting, rather it only strengthens the material in more ways than one, particularly as it’s pertinent to the specific focus on gender’s influence on female negotiators in the workplace….
