 Rating:  - Transformational Approach - AND they stick!The 3 things that 'stuck': 1) As a Manager: Celebrate uniqueness 2) As a Leader: Call on needs we all share 3) Sustained Success: Cut out activities that don't feed you - pull from strength! Rating:  - It's not ONE thing...it's manyThe title is misleading...it's not one thing, it's many...and the many things the author cites are rehashed wisdom and experience, though he does present them in a succinct way. This book is for management junkies, not serious people looking for practical strategies to improve their and their team's performance. This is one more example of the superficial competition to fill your bookshelves with passed on wisdom. Better to roll up your sleeves and just DO IT!

The book shares with you the secrets of individual success, management, leadership, and successful relationships. Yes, you could wish Marcus threw in the secret of eternal youth - but, I guess, he is still working on it. Good luck, Marcus! Your audience awaits!

Don't be pathetic and think that a self-help book is going to change your life. That only comes through reflection and personal growth. So, now for free I am going to tell you the one thing you need to know AND I am even going to give you ... Read More |
