Great on the Job: What to Say, How to Say It. The Secrets of Getting Ahead.
REVIEW
Wow. I like this book a lot. Clearly-written, very-focused, usable and doable advice and tips, and it addresses the biggest challenge and opportunity for us all: Communication.
Great on the Job is a manual whose instructions can be put into use immediately and its tips can be practiced and followed daily.
It is a manual whose solutions address our biggest challenge: Communication. Communication and collaboration. Communication and collaboration in an ever-changing, ever-dynamic, stressful world.
Communication and collaboration skills are not taught. If they are, they are taught poorly and erratically. The book’s introduction shares a recent speech from Warren Buffett to an audience of Columbia Business School students. He tells them he would pay them each $100,000 for 10 percent of their future earnings. And if they can improve their communication skills....their future earnings are worth 50% more.
Imagine the students at one of the most prestigious schools being told they will enter the business world with skills and earning power left untapped. 50% of that their earnings are left, if you will, in their dorm rooms for the lack of good communication skills.
A book like Great on the Job offers some immediate remedy for this curriculum oversight. Its remedies, if practiced and implemented, offer the reader the potential to reclaim some of those lost potential future earnings.
And you can begin to reclaim them today. And you can keep improving your communication skills tomorrow and reclaim a bigger portion of those potential future earnings...tomorrow. And you can do it without the expense of an Ivy League education.
That is a very good ROI from the book’s purchase and your time investment in first reading it, then following it.
Not sure? That’s ok. I understand. So, do your due diligence on this investment and listen to her. Then...decide.
