From the Publisher
Veteran Microsoft manager Julie Bick takes you behind the scenes at one of the world's most successful companies to share the invaluable lessons she learned there. And she shows you how to use these tips to put your career in high gear, no matter what industry you're in.
Engaging and user-friendly, this insider's guide to field-tested Microsoft strategies covers topics relevant to all aspects of your professional life -- from managing your career, to leading a winning team, to running your own business. With humor and insight, Bick reveals what she learned from her teammates, her competitors, and her mistakes, illuminating every piece of advice with actual anecdotes from life at Microsoft. You'll discover the secrets that keep everyone at the company -- from the freshest Microsoftie to Bill Gates himself -- one step ahead.
Whatever your profession or ambition, there's no arguing with success. And this book will give you all you need to merge into the fast lane on the road ahead.
From Library Journal
Bick, a past senior product manager for Microsoft, has written a primer on business. She covers how to do a job well, run the company, be a good boss, communicate effectively, and manage a career. Her book is a collection of examples and anecdotes, with each chapter having several sections of six to ten lessons apiece. It is doubtful whether a successful manager would gain new insights from this book, but the neophyte or wannabe may wish to read it. Microsoft management does not appear to be committed to the "time away from work to have a life" view recommended by the author, as evidenced by all the jokes and comments about working before 8:00 a.m., many evenings a week, and late into the night. On only one page is there mention of the manager as a parent. Interestingly, the author is now a consultant for Microsoft, with a newborn child. An optional purchase for public libraries.?Peggy D.
