Good enough for those Bastards

Norwegian title: Godt nok for de svina

Anita Krohn Traaseth is a top manager who is not afraid to tell her story. She defends who she is and says that who you are and what you do is good enough. It is not about being perfect, but about being real. If you're going to reach the top, you need to let go of perfectionism. In this book, Anita Krohn Traaseth writes in a personal and humorous way about her road to the top, about daring to be seen, rising to challenges and embracing working life with all the joy, challenges and possibilities it provides for personal growth. She provides advice for those struggling to find their place between being a manager in an enclosed space and new openness where we cheer one another on and dare to be noticed in both meeting rooms and in public like the fallible people we are. This is a modern management book for those who want it all: a great job and a family. 49.000 copies in print in Norway!

Win or disappear ‘Good enough is undoubtedly a useful motto for clever girls of both genders.’ DAGSAVISEN Women reach the top ‘Good enough for those Bastards is in any case a much more truthful and refreshing formulation which permits the disclosure of the arrogance which exists in the career world. It’s impossible not to appreciate Traaseth’s frankness.' DAGBLADET
