As a mentor to many in business I am always amazed when I ask the question what is it you want to do in your career and the answer is most often I don t know . If you have not defined what the ideal job is for you and devised a plan to get there, your chances of getting there are greatly diminished. In Strategize to Win Carla Harris pro vides practical advice on how to look within yourself and discover the career journey that will lead you down your path to success. She also teaches you how to communicate this plan to others and to enlist their help in getting you there. I wish this book had been around when I began my career 30 years ago. It is truly a recipe for success.
