The corporate ladder can be a rough and risky climb and, according to one expert, women will not get the corner office if they work too hard, pay too much attention to detail or if they need to be liked.
The book "Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office," written by career coach Dr. Lois Frankel, explains why some women soar and others stagnate.
Here are her so-called "fatal flaws":
* A nose to the grindstone doesn't usually spell success.
* Decorating your office like your living room can emphasize your femininity and diminish credibility.
* Tilting your head in the workplace can be interpreted as uncertain and less assertive.
* Avoiding office politics. If you're not involved, you're not in the game.
* Asking permission. Men don't ask for permission, but for forgiveness.
* Being the last to speak. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that someone else will say what you're thinking and get credit for it.
Elysia Ragusa, who climbed her way to being president and chief operating officer of the Staubach Co. agrees with the advice in the book.
"It's not being Miss Congeniality. It's being credible, being professional, being a human being," Ragusa said.
Frankel also recommends being real and cutting girlish behavior.

"* Tilting your head in the workplace can be interpreted as uncertain and less assertive. "
I always took head tilting to mean attentiveness and listening.
