Women Don't Ask: The High Cost of Avoiding Negotiation

Salary Talk

Everyone knows men make more money than women. But perhaps, at least in part, it's because they ask for it and women don't. Linda Babcock, co-author of "Women Don't Ask: The High Cost of Avoiding Negotiation and Positive Strategies for Change," joins Aaron and Wendy on this week's Salary Talk and talks openly and honestly about why women don't negotiate, why negotiating their own self-worth makes them anxious and what they can do to fix it. If you're a woman who falls into this category, or just as important if you're a manager with female employees, Linda offers some incredibly important tips and strategies to better ensure equality between the sexes. This podcast may be about women, but it's got something to offer everyone and Linda is a nationally renowned expert on gender studies.
