Synopsis

The book is divided into three sections: Career, Leadership & Management, and Interpersonal Dynamics. Although the topics do reinforce each other each chapter can be read on its own. If you’re facing a particular challenge you can jump ahead to any chapter.

At the end of the book you'll have developed a wide ranging set of skills for your career. You'll be able to create a plan to get you to where you want to go, and apply the other skills both strategically and tactically to accelerate your career.
