The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women's Dead-End Work
When to Use This Tool:
Use The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work when you’re feeling stretched thin by thankless tasks that don’t advance your career or align with your goals. It’s especially helpful when you need language, data, and strategies to say no with confidence and redirect your energy toward meaningful, high-impact work.
Why It Matters:
Linda Babcock and her coauthors expose the hidden burden of “non-promotable” work that disproportionately falls on women—and offer a roadmap to change it. By learning to recognize and redistribute this labor, you can protect your time, increase your influence, and help create more equitable workplaces.
