Introduction
For a while now I have been wondering why I can't locate a book that sets out in a clear no nonsense manner how to be successful at work. I'm talking about practical steps that are easily digestible and simple to put into practice in the workplace. So, what with having gained over 20 years of management experience across six companies, all within different industries, I thought it was time that someone (me!) put this right.
All the things I write about are from first-hand experience and have worked ever so well for me. You won't find any name dropping, famous or contemporary theoretical models, complicated flow-charts or difficult to understand diagrams. You will find simple words, simple vocabulary, simple paragraphs and simple chapters including ideas and advice that are very easy to implement in your day to day lives at work.
So my promise to you is to include advice and ideas that:
• are easy to follow
• are easy to try out
• actually work in practice (they are all tried and tested)
• can be remembered easily
Easy really!
By the way I love bullet points. This is something that will become apparent very quickly as you glide through this book.
