Andrew H. (andrew041488) reviewed on 6/16/2010

Cathie Black's book is geared toward a younger, feminist (although not necessarily female, as in my case) audience and gives great advice on time management, people skills, and overall professional development. I've recommended it to all my friends entering the workplace and although some of the information may be construed as "common sense," you won't find any of the advice as common knowledge!

The book is not written like a textbook, nor is it written like a novel. I would more closely related it to a collection of short stories from her own life to illustrate what to do (and what not to do) to "get ahead." Some may find the autobiography side a little egotistical, but I appreciate her blunt demeanor and the "tell it how it is" writing style. If you love Suze Orman, you'll probably love Cathie Black.
