Customer Reviews

46 years of experience condensed

I always believe that information is most applicable in "context". This review comes from someone who is at the beginning of their management career. I have been working with PricewaterhouseCoopers for over three years now and am beginning to assume greater professional management responsibilities.Not only do I think that this book is excellent and its 7 rules applicable to anyone looking to "Get Ahead" in their career, I have had the pleasure of working alongside Mr. Scovil as we both serve as members of the Board of Advisors for the non-profit organization AIESEC at Georgia Tech.This book condenses 46 years of professional experience into 7 simple rules. Not theory, not guesswork...this comes from someone who was CEO of a major international corporation! I'm sending a copy to all my friends in management and leadership positions.
