There are skills and techniques you can learn which will allow you to grow out of your shell and become a friendly, assertive person. Learn these simple strategies and you will get along better with colleagues, be seen as a strong, team player, get the promotions you deserve or the clients you want and, ultimately--and naturally--succeed in business. You can conquer your shyness and learn to present yourself confidently in a wide variety of business situations, from speaking up at a meeting, to taking credit for a project, to asking a busy boss for a deserved raise.

This is not a problem I have, in fact, I am more of a leader than follower. I originally intended to read this book in the hopes that it would help my husband stand up for himself. Now, it no longer applies.

I read this because of the title and cover! (I feel like this man sometimes).

I had trouble as there were quite a few grammatical errors in the kindle version. This kept me from taking the book too seriously.

I did get some worthwhile tips and am trying to implement some of them. It wasn’t a total loss.
