This is a great tool to develop success and satisfaction in both your career and personal life. Everyone can benefit from the advice no matter what stage of their career they are in, but it would be especially beneficial early on. The topics are laid out in concise, interesting chapters that include personal stories and advice from people all over the world. Each chapter also has easy to understand information and plans to implement the information. The additional reading suggestions and thought provoking questions at the end of each chapter allow great self reflection and would be useful as a tool for leaders to use to develop a great team. Definitely recommend to anyone lookong to have a successful and fulfilling career and life… (mer)
