Good Luck Don't Suck: A Tactical Guide to Early Success in the Workplace

by Dan Whalen, Gabbe Kearney, Kevin Long

What separates the 'Tactical Guide to Early Success' from other business books? This book is not going to tell the reader how to create a vision for a large team, we are not going to talk about large-scale organizational change, and we are not going to talk about what you need to do to be the next CEO. The Tactical Guide is about the here and now. It will provide the reader with on-the-job tips that you can employ tomorrow morning that will make them a successful employee, leader, and influencer in their workplace. The authors leverage their collective 20+ year leadership and mentoring experience to provide industry agnostic "Tactical Tips" to help start your career on the right foot or launch your existing career on a different trajectory. These tips were developed not only through experiences in world-class training programs hosted by the Department of Defense but through listening to their mentors and analyzing the author's own habits communication techniques, personal relationships, and more.
