This book focuses on the key qualities necessary to achieve tenure and promotion. The qualities mentioned in the book comprise enthusiasm, a drive to grow, and inventiveness. In a field fraught with obstacles and difficulties, junior faculty and those above them will be committed to cultivating and maintaining a positive outlook. Faculty members who have a positive outlook on life are more likely to enjoy fulfillment, happiness, and general well-being. Additionally, the faculty person would need the motivation to continue teaching and enhancing their abilities, i.e., a drive to improve. Faculty members who recognize and overcome their shortcomings via professional development initiatives succeed. They gain personal development and strive for excellence in teaching, service, and research. More so, this book discusses the value of creativity, describing it as the "x-factor" that distinguishes faculty members. As you go through these trios of qualities, bear in mind that other characteristics will emerge that push you, the faculty member, to success.
