Rating:  Summary: Knocked My Socks Off! Review: Note for John Lucht:Good morning, John, and I must say that this first insight hit me like a ton of bricks! For most of my career, I have been identified as a high potential person, the ideal change agent, the first one to take a development assignment, the first one to start a new division, etc. While that very often has brought me success, tho at a high cost and high risk, when I have taken a fall, it was for exactly the reason you cited, and by that point, curiously lacking in the support of the very senior fellow who had spent months coaching me to stir the pot. In fact in those unsuccessful cases, the senior guy was asking me to do the things he had been unsuccessful in doing or had simply been afraid to do. I so appreciate your insight as I continue to pursue my current job search targets. With best regards, Barb Chilson in Ossining.
Rating:  Summary: Great book Review: Overall, I found the book fascinating. I could not put it down. It is small, and I finished quickly, but then I went back to read it again. So many of these lessons are easily missed in the day to day activity of our lives. I just don't know how John takes the maelstrom of human activities and pulls out, succinctly and clearly, the most poignant lessons. In this book John has done it for life's lessons beyond just the recruiting aspect (which was the previous book he wrote, focusing in on the most important aspects of managing recruiters!). Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. This is a must read.
