Book Review: Overcoming Obstacles !
Summary: 4 Stars

You are challenged to cultivate relationships work, particularly with the boss. Realize that what decision-makers think about you has an impact on your success. Devote time to making the proper, professional impression. Speaking of challenges, they add, "challenge is essential to psychological health."

Along the lines of professional relationship cultivation is the idea of selling oneself. "It is never enough merely to have what it takes. You always have to convince other people," they advise.

Workaholics are seen as being people who cop out because they do what is comfortable rather than what is more difficult. Holistic management realizes life includes more than managing things.

One reality that is usually observed but not commented upon is that "in many companies, 'looking good'--understanding the system without being told-- is rewarded more than actually doing the job well," they poignantly state.

These are just some of the valuable epiphanies this book contains. It increases your effectiveness because it puts the spotlight on some things commonly observed, yet frequently not analyzed. It will help you to learn to "play the game" and get ahead.
