Review
Picked as one of the six best personal development books: "...full of tips on how to make the most of your career" - The Telegraph, 19 June 2008

Ron Ashkenas, Managing Partner, Robert H. Schaffer & Associates, Stamford, Ct. USA and co-author of The Boundaryless Organization, The GE Work-Out, and Rapid Results.
"If you are just starting your career, or are looking to take a leap ahead, this book will be your secret weapon. It's like having a personal coach whispering in your ear as you take the field. You'll be provoked, challenged, inspired and motivated. But most of all, you'll know the simple secret plays that will help you win the game!"

Marcus Alexander, Strategy Professor, London Business School
"Full of amusement, telling anecdotes and great wisdom - I wish that good advice was always so appealing."

Customer Reviews

dreadful
There is just absolutely nothing to it. A truly dreadful business book.
It might only be 158 pages but it could have been written in ten pages.
There is just no content at all.
The only useful information in it, you will know already.
I find it staggering how this got published. I do recommend that you skim through this in a bookshop, otherwise you will probably not believe just how little there is to it.

Sorry- killed by 1 line for me
This entire book was spoilt for me by one line when it quoted "...Sir Fred Goodwin, the master of success..." We all know how disgraced he was with his pension pot and where he took RBS. I just couldnt take what the book said seriously after this.

In priase of Fred Godwin
Clang, this book holds Fred Goodwin the crasher of Royal Bank of Scotland as a prospective role model on page 80. Given Freddy the pensions fall from grace and the anecdotal evidence of his management skill, you must question the authors skill in suggesting best behaviors in work.

Alternatively Godwin could be held as an example of mediocrity gaining the best reward for itself, in which case this book would be for you.
