Most Meaningful Message During These Uncertain Times

Mr. Cain makes it imperative that we take charge of our own lives and not allow anyone to control our destiny. He tells us how and the questions that need to be asked-the actions that need to be taken. I believe this is a must read for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the times, the economy, the job market/a nowhere job, or a family/personal situation that is draining your energy.

Career Counselor Says "Thumbs Up"

Mr. Cain's book, "CEO of Self" is a good career blueprint. His rise to the top began with few advantages and certainly can serve as an inspiration to those climbing the corporate ladder. His example regarding the importance of gaining Profit and Loss (P & L) responsibility is helpful. In my career counseling work, I encounter people who are NOT aware of the value of these kinds of strategies. Mr. Cain's story then, illustrates the importance of "career self responsibility" and it can help readers to position themselves for occupational success.
