Featured Reviews
Joan J, Librarian
This short book is a great resource for anyone who wants to increase their value to their employer. Even if you think you're a good employee, this book demonstrates how good can be turned into great. Chapters are easily digestible with numerous examples to follow and habits to cultivate. The earlier in an employee's career he can implement these habits, the greater his value to the company, and his own bottom line, will be.
I gave four stars instead of five, because the examples were about making more money for the employer, and are not as applicable in a non-profit work environment, where the focus is more on serving others rather than making money.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I thought this was a very interesting book with clear, concise and actionable steps you can take to become more effective to the company as a whole. The habits are really geared toward looking beyond your job to the company beyond and encourages you be more diligent with your actions and thoughts so you can make a stronger and more lasting impact. I think this is a great read that will make you think more about your day to day activities in a positive way.

It's an easy read, it's informative and the information is practical. I confidently recommend this book to new leaders, seasoned leaders, and aspiring leaders.
