In this edition of the everywomanBookClub podcast, everywoman’s Rebecca Lewis challenges Professor Gruenfeld to help us become more powerful in our relationship with the boss, and learn how to handle interruptions and say “no” more effectively. We also get Professor Gruenfeld’s insight into female leadership during the Covid-19 crisis, the power behind the #MeToo Movement, and how birth order and childhood experiences impact our relationship with power in adulthood. (Spoiler alert: President Trump is the second youngest of five children.)
