In this book, some may gain insight from its premise of refocusing on new next steps in their careers. I found much of it to be apparent observations for a successful person to have already identified independently. ( )

I found some very good useful behaviors to either change or prevent from appearing in my day-to-day in the first quarter of this book. After that, the book really didn't provide anything I found interesting or would implement.

I listened to this book in audio format in my car on my way to and from work. I do not remember where I picked up the recommendation for this title. #readingforsuccess
The title implies that getting through a success plateau requires doing something different than what you have been doing. I was surprised that that book was entirely based around interpersonal relationships. It makes me wonder how people with such bad interpersonal habits got to the level of business leadership the author works with. It tells me I really don't understand how business hiring and promotions actually work.
In his description I recognized some of the people I have disliked working with and for so far in my career. I will have to listen a second time to try and determine my own bad habits. I was disappointed that his info is really only useful after receiving 360 degree feedback. He gave some informal ways to get some feedback without having a formal program. However, much of his book seemed more like an advertisement for his program further fed by his repeated comments that he is very selective about who he is willing to work with. Overall, it was still a good book. At a minimum, it made it easier to understand what and why some situations and some people create headaches and frustration at work. I agree strongly that the only person you can change is you and any improvements have to start with you.

One sentence that stayed with me long after I finished the books was "Stop trying to coach people who shouldn't be coached". Amen to that. ( )

A pretty good book of general life advice aimed at those who've already achieved something. And that can be its weakness as you might not feel like you are in the target market. (I certainly don't). But there are some good nuggets of advice here and some pretty good ideas for taking that first step. Worth the read. ( )
