As a professional organizer, I often find myself frustrated with mindless advice. So it's a treat to open this book and find some truly original ideas that I can recommend. We can all read and learn here.

Morgenstern's nine competencies are straightforward and you're heard some before, but they're presented insightfully. For instance, "organize at the speed of change" and develop an "entrepreneurial mindset" have become essential in today's world.

I especially respected, "Sometimes it's not you! Sometimes it's them holding you back." She clarifies when it is them and gives advice about how to improve your skills and change your situation anyway.
