WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO WIN @ WORK?

Suggested Reading - "Rules of Work" by Richard Templar

Apart from performing your role perfectly, what else do you need to do to achieve success in your career / current job? This is what you’ll learn if you happen to read the book “Rules of Work” by Richard Templar. I happened to read this book last weekend. Although you get a feeling that you know most of the stuff, it is still worth reading as it has been written in a structured manner. The author talks about building one’s own “personal” brand at work, dressing sense, how to get noticed by top management etc. The author talks more about “Are you doing the job in the right way?” It is upto us to figure out whether we are in the right job.This book is one of the current bestsellers in the non-fiction category. You can catch the Amazon review here.

I made a post on Sharad Haksar yesterday. Today’s Hindu also talks of this poll. The organizers have kept the photographer’s name under wraps so that people can vote without any bias.
