Success @ Work  (English, Paperback, Karthik Lakshminarayanan)

If you just got a new boss or are feeling stuck in your job lately, it's time to get your career back on track. If you thought that just being good at your craft should get you promoted, think again. What stops smart, competent people is an inability to influence and persuade people. To be successful in your career, you have to become a master influencer. In SUCCESS @ WORK, you will learn the four skills of Reputation, Connection, Negotiation and Leadership that you'll need for career success. You will discover how to take control by building a bulletproof reputation and building strong connections with influential stakeholders. Go farther by learning how to negotiate collaborative agreements. Finally, be the leader the organization looks up to, by winning their hearts and minds. These skills worked for me and people I coached over a 25 year career, and they will work for you. My name is Karthik Lakshminarayanan. I am a Senior Director at Google and previously led product teams at Microsoft and VMware. Many non-fiction books are dense to read, harder to recall and confusing to implement. Not this one. Using a signature style of storytelling, SUCCESS @ WORK is rich with real world examples and will serve as your practical how-to guide to start making changes right away to put your career on the fast track.
