 Not only for leaders, every position can take advantages! January 6, 2004
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
Great book! You don't have to be a leader, new executive, or senior manager, you may be just a new employee joining to a new company. Regardless the position you are, the ten suggested guidelines from this book still provide you a great deal of practical advice, especially the chapter of 'Negotiate Success', which addresses how you should setup and manage the expectation between you & your new boss. Very helpful.

As an author who writes and lectures on success, personal achievement, and leadership I try to crack open as many books on these topics as I can. But separating the wheat from the chaff if often a struggle in the first instance; with all of the books coming out these days you never know what you are going to get! But having read Michael Watkins material before when I was completing my MBA some years back, it was an easy choice.
Watkins really has put together a wonderful piece of literary insight that address critical leadership success issues and provides excellent techniques for men and women who have, are about to, or are aspiring to get hold of the reigns. I highly recommended it!

As someone who recently moved into my first executive role, i found this book very helpful in focusing on early wins and in developing and accelerating momentum in my new role. It forced me to balance thinking with action...Stongly recommend it for a general mgmt transition. ...tools in the book force you to take an outside-in view of your new role.

I am the CEO of a successful holding company involved in diversification. I was drawn to this book because I was looking for a roadmap for leaders to jump start their success. This wonderful book provides the necessary critical strategies. I recommend that leaders on all levels read this book and another, Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self to understand the shortcomings of suboptimal thinking in corporate culture and to create a team of optimizers who optimize every situation. Five stars for each of these books!
