Features: Work philosophy from outstanding employees of world-class enterprises, today's best-selling career spirit training book in the United States! The latest best-selling work from America's No.1 employee motivation expert, quickly translated into different languages, and the Chinese version has taken the business world by storm in Taiwan and Singapore. I want to remind you: unless you read every word, don't put down this book. — Larry Bossidy, Co-author of Execution.
In today's business world, the traditional attitude toward one's career is becoming increasingly unsuitable. Loyalty alone is no longer enough. Employees who are always ready to act and are content with merely completing assigned tasks will find themselves increasingly overwhelmed. Those who can manage and lead themselves are the ones employers are desperately seeking. In fact, every employer has a strong expectation of their employees: don’t just do what I tell you to do. Use your judgment and effort to do what needs to be done for the company’s benefit and success. Every employee should know this, but few companies clearly articulate it.
