[Lori Grant · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must-read book on executive ability in managing your career.

[Russell Hayes · Rating 2 out of 5]

The author effectively used stories at the beginning of each chapter to illustrate his points. That served to keep the pace moving, making the book an almost too-quick read.

Even still, many of the points were mere common sense, as is the case in all books of this genre.

Throughout this entire book I kept thinking that the author was using Christian morality to describe success in the workplace, albeit clothing it in secular terms.

Much to my surprise and delight, at the end of the book the author declared his faith in the personal, loving God of the Bible.
