Book Summary of The Professional

Bagchi's first best-selling book, The High-Performance Entrepreneur, shared his story of building a company. His second bestseller, Go Kiss the World, was the story of his life, a motivation to young people that anyone can achieve. But as Subroto Bagchi says: ‘Go Kiss the World did not provide a tool kit.’ In The Professional he gives us his knowledge, based on his lifelong experience, of what it takes to be a professional, what qualities you need to become a great professional. Most importantly, he asks, and gives answers, to the toughest question every professional faces: Is what I am going to do now, faced with a difficult decision and multiple options, the professional choice to make?

In a world where a ‘Satyam saga’ was incomprehensible; where the global economic meltdown has affected the livelihoods of millions of people; where companies and individuals are routinely revealed to have made unprofessional choices, The Professional provides the explicit and implicit code of conduct— the boundaries which separate a skilled individual from a professional.

The Professional: Will definitely guide you to be one

I bought this book in 2010, and almost completed it within 3 months.
This book was suggested to me by a senior Program Manager in my company, where I work. He himself had read this book when he had around 4-5 years of experience, but he suggested me to start it earlier.
After reading this book, I felt the difference between the student life and the professional life. Lot of things need to be learned before being part of a professional world. The earlier you are aware, the farther you go.
I would highly recommend this book to the young generation, who are about to start their career after completing their studies, and also to senior managers, may be they will also learn something new to adopt in their day to day routine.
Till date, I have read this book 2 times, and it continues...because learning is a lifetime process...

Cheers.

Wisdom Seed

Read this book more than 1 year back. But the insight is very much in my words and acts each moment. This book must be in 1st semester in MBA courses and in 6/7 sem in Btech courses.. also a must for all Professional Students. A very good attempt to raise the motivation of soul.. Dead Picker Story is one of the best seed of wisdom in Book.

Must Read!

I feel this book is a 'Must Read' for every student/professional.
There are sooo many points that we take for granted in daily life and this book provides a decent shake up or brings you back to the real definition of a 'Professional'.
I have to also give due credit to Flipkart for service provided. As always TOP Notch!!

The Professional

The books begins with the old fashioned value of Integrity and then really picks up . A good read . The exercise involving the test of company's perosnnel through a simulated (unbeknownst to employees) real world incident is good one.
