Great book. New insights that I did not know such as how to research the profile of your supervisor to communicate better. The best tip is how to improve our email in order to get what we want.

Boring and not useful for me

[John Jervy Ramos · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book covers most types of jobs from a standard viewpoint. In summary, cultural practices, workplace-set-up and other factors mentioned in the book will affect how you communicate your message. The book contains lots of tips and helpful insights. I'll recommend it to anyone who had already experienced career growth or someone seeking promotion.

Ok, but too abstract most of the time.
