How Bonnie Hammer Turned ‘Uncommon Common Sense’ into Book to Help Women Navigate Life in the C-Suite

Cynthia Littleton Business Editor For Bonnie Hammer, work has always been a team sport. The NBCUniversal vice chair thrived in her career as a cable programming pioneer, leading the executive teams that transformed USA Network, Syfy Channel, E!

and other channels. More recently, she galvanized the troops that got the Peacock streamer off the ground. For years, Hammer also nursed the idea of writing a book that would capture her decades of experience navigating business, financial and personal pressures at the highest levels of Big Media’s C-suites.

The pandemic and her job transition to vice chair in 2020 gave Hammer the time she needed to make the book a priority. “15 Lies Women Are Told at Work…And the Truth We Need to Succeed” was published this month by Simon & Schuster.

One of the biggest challenges Hammer faced in getting the book to the finish line was having to work solo as a writer for such a long period.
