5.0 out of 5 stars Managing Your Career, 27 Sep 2007
By Mighty Quinn (London, UK) - See all my reviews

I'm grateful that my colleague encouraged me to read all three titles in the Harvard Business School Press "Lessons Learned" series. Of the three --"Leading by Example", "Managing Change" and "Managing Your Career" -- the latter offers the most insightful and varied advice for anyone planning a business career.

There are, of course, no magic formulas for success, and the business leaders interviewed here do not pretend there are. What emerges from their stories, though, are some essential competences, values and habits of mind that aspiring executives must possess or acquire if they are to forge successful careers in the business world.

Be proactive in seeking out mentors, courses and experiences that will help you develop your leadership abilities; strive to maintain your integrity at all times--it's almost impossible to regain it once it's lost; develop strong resilience, perseverance and a can-do attitude--these are the attributes you'll need in order to rise through your company; open yourself to different worlds--peoples, places, cultures --in order to experience new ideas and perspectives on things; and, don't worry about the people you've offended on the way up; success breeds selective memories--they'll only remember the good things about you!

"Managing Your Career" contains many such insights from the real-life experiences of successful business men and women. It's attractively designed in a size that fits easily into pocket or purse and is easy to read, with concise stories and essential summaries or takeaways for each one.

And there's a bonus. Buy the book and you get four free video lessons. All you have to do is go to www.fiftylessons.com/hbsp and type in the code at the back of your copy of the book.
