If I understand Joel Zeff's core assertion in this book (and I may not), it is that a person must make her or his own career and personal choices, then assume full responsibility for the consequences. That is hardly a head-snapping revelation. The substantial value of this book will be derived elsewhere. Specifically, from what Zeff has to say about the importance of having positive support and appropriate opportunities throughout life, and, the importance also of helping others to obtain them. He reviews a number of workshop exercises that he conducts to help participants overcome whatever hesitation they may feel so that they can think more innovatively. (Any one of these exercises is well worth more than the cost of the book.) He also includes a number of specific suggestions such asHow to increase the positive support in one's workplace (Pages 6-7)Why most conference calls are ineffective (Pages 55-56)How to conduct a productive brainstorming session (Pages 88-90)How to create an environment in which members of an audience feel comfortable enough to take risks (Pages 109-112)How "little things" allow us to work and communicate more effectively, productively, and successfully (Pages 128-132)How to use recognition to acknowledge outstanding performance (Pages 141-142)How to prepare the "stage" for a formal presentation (Pages 152-153)I also appreciate Zeff's inclusion of a "Quick Ideas" section at the conclusion of most chapters in which he reviews key points, suggests action steps, and provides "positive support" to those who implement his ideas.Zeff's wit is a significant value-added-benefit. At one point, he quotes Dwight D.
