 Rating:  - Best Investment You Will Ever Make In Your Career!I read this book just before I started my MBA along with several other books, but this was by far the most impactful. I have used tips and tricks from this book in my interviews, in my interactions with classmates, interactions with my faculty, and interactions with my recruiting contacts. Most of all, it helped me find a long-term job after B-school. No matter what career you are in, the lessons from this book will allow you to manage office politics, and manage your own career much ...

I am now in a highly visible and quite senior role, and this book rings ever so true. Though it sugar coats nothing, the insights and advice are not cynical, whatever your level in the organization.

This book gives you great advise about building a career and for anyone being at the top of the company already, it makes you recognize ...

D'Alessandro makes one key point with this book - you don't get to the top by being great, but by not screwing up. This point is made through countless stories that he tells about his career. D'Alessandro is not arrogant, like many (if not most) other business authors. Rather, he is hilarious. I lost count at how many times I laughed so hard, interrupted my wife, and related a story from this book. This is what I want out ... Read More Rating: - Great advice for anyoneI have read this book twice and have also recommended it for Managers working on my team as well. David D'Alessandro presents great advice for anyone in any business environment about building and maintaining your reputation or brand. The person's on my team who have read it are also big fans. I recommend this book for anyone in business - especially anyone out there who subscribes to the "I am the way I am, and my colleagues need to learn to accept me for who I am" way of thinking - I would say this one is ...
