      FYI: For Your Improvement, A Guide for Development and Coaching (4th edition)

      Several close colleagues & mentors recommended this book as their "career bible". I finally listened to them (took me 10 years, but finally did it). And glad I did.

      In my opinion, it is the most infornation-dense, non-BS, completely actionable advice I have found in a business book. Strongly recommend. From my understanding, the 4th Ed is the one you want.

      This is the way you take your professional & career life to the next level.

      1) Don't underestimate the Human Connection factor. You've got to learn how to take your peoples emotional temperature and deal with it. Recommend Stuart Diamond's Getting More >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOZo6Lx70ok

      2) In dealing with individuals Competencies & Skills, wish I found the FYI Book much earlier: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0974589233/ref=x_gr_w_bb?ie...
