ppcfransen 's review for:
I didn't enjoy this book as much as others I've read in the genre. Perhaps I've read too many in a short span of time. But also, some of the advice is kind of an open door:
- make lists of the tasks you like and the tasks you'd rather not do. See if you can get someone else to do the tasks you don't like.
- make a list of the skills you need to do the tasks you'd like to do. Develop those skills.
I guess some people are stuck in such a rut that they don't even see the obvious.
Some new concepts for me were SCARF threats -- Those are threats to your Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness -- and the Ladder of Inference, where a situation triggers one of your SCARF threats and you determine someone did that on purpose, dig your heels in and notice a pattern.
Some good advice on how to climb back down that ladder. It's better for the relationships you have at work.
A few days after I read the book I've forgotten what it was about for the most part. So very few concepts I wanted to put to practice immediately.
I read an ARC through NetGalley
