This book discusses the major challenges facing dual-career couples--a substantial proportion of modern society--and suggests ways for both individuals to achieve career success by re-evaluating traditional styles of working and focusing on productivity, flexibility, and negotiating win-win solutions. * Identifies and explains the simple principles that enable readers to understand the power in relationships--with their mate and with their employer--and grasp the true sources of their motivation * Supplies insights based on surveys of more than 10,000 professionals and more than three decades of business-world experience * Addresses "dual-career" issues in the context of being a form of invisible diversity--a reality that impacts both men and women but tends to disproportionately negatively impact women, who are also struggling with unconscious gender bias * Reveals how dissatisfaction with work-life balance is often caused by lack of career opportunities
