review 1: Excellent book, even for those -- like me -- who already know what they want to do. This book will show you how to be the best in the position you're in, help you understand that you may not need another company but a new career inside the company, and also help you understand why you are not living your life to your fullest capabilities. This isn't the kind of book you read and put down. To maximize the benefits from this book, you will have to do a bit of soul searching, which can be difficult. Honest answers to tough questions can help you achieve the life you want. I highly recommend!
review 2: A good book about coaching, mentoring, building relationships, honesty (with yourself especially) and defining success on your own terms.It doesn't try to be a "
... moreknow-it-all" kind of book but like the title says it is road map. The author admits that some (most?) of this isn't easy but it may be worth it if you aren't getting what you want out of your work.Although this is by far the more traditional business book compared to the other one I just finished reading (The Art of Power), there are some correlations: especially when it comes to defining success. less
