A great personal agenda

Revisado: 06-07-05

Most readers / listeners won't hold all of the ideas in this book in their heads - certainly not first time through. But this is a great recording to keep permanently on your mp3 player and listen to several times. The topics covered are pretty wide ranging - from managing the politics of the workplace, to staying physically fit. You may not agree with all of the points, but I think that's partly the point with this book: select from this buffet of ideas, adjust them to suit your own situation, and go from there. All-in, this is a convincing take on what's needed to rise through an organization. Take the specific destination of 'CEO' with a pinch of salt perhaps...but, quite honestly, follow all of the steps in here to the letter, and you've got to feel you will be quite a few steps closer to that corner office. Punchy, well-written and well narrated. Highly recommended.

Solid, action-oriented advice

Revisado: 06-06-05

This is excellent business writing: on-point, pithy and with enough specific examples to bring their ideas to life. An extended marketing effort for Spencer Stuart? Quite possibly - but this is genuinely engaging stuff, and the authors clearly speak from experience. They do a particularly good job of broadening the scope of the message: how many of their readers/listeners will actually be CEOs? Probably not many. So they ensure there are clear learnings throughout for someone moving into a management role at any level. All this is presented in a digestible form which avoids the pitfalls of dumbing down to the lowest common denominator. Definitely worth a look.
