I wish I read this book at the start of my career. There are so many valuable points/pearls of wisdom that I found myself going back to read them before I started the next chapter. Once I completed the book, I went through and re-read all of them again. I can't recommend this book enough to anyone who is a high achiever but never likes to talk about it. To the people that just stay heads down and work their hearts out and don't like to get involved in the 'politics', this book is for you!
It's so true that so many decisions are made without you in the room, so you need to find advocates that can help tell your story when you are not there. You need to make as many connections as possible, especially in a world where people are changing jobs more frequently. One key sponsor you have today could be gone tomorrow, don't put all your eggs into 1 basket.

Good, straightforward advice to succeed in business. I don't know if this book is for everyone. I have a similar attitude and personality as Carla, so it worked for me. I do wish there were more examples of failure and trials and how you come back from it. I would love to read a memoir from Carla rather than this true self help style.

This book is one of the better professional advice books I have read - even if Harris's copyeditor let her down more than once.
