About this title

Synopsis

Argues that standard business practices, job descriptions, and career tracks are obsolete and that to succeed, individuals must continuously reinvent their roles and goals

Reviews

How can reengineering be suggested to a corporation or business or institution when its leaders--and the rest of its employees--haven't reengineered themselves? Motivational speaker-consultant-psychologist Waitley turns his attention to the leader that is in all of us, defining and analyzing the 14 qualities that need to be expressed if goals are to be realized. Each section includes success plans, action tips, exercises, reminders, and paradoxical proverbs, all drawn from his as well as other peoples' experiences. His spoken-style prose is slightly disjointed at times, but his words will at least prompt individuals to start the rethinking process. Barbara Jacobs
