Wall Street veteran Carla Harris knows this, and in<i> Strategize to Win</i> she gives readers the tools they need to get started; get "unstuck" from bad situations; redirect momentum; and position themselves to manage their careers no matter the environment. With her trademark galvanizing advice, Harris identifies and clarifies issues that are often murky, offering lessons on: Identifying and making the most of your work profile (are you a Good Soldier? a Leader? an Arguer?); preparing for a career change without going back to school or taking a step down: honing three essential skills industry leaders possess (and how to get them); tuning into unspoken cues; and thriving through change. Introducing a new way of planning one's career in five-year units, <i>Strategize to Win</i> distills battle-tested and step-by-step tools that Carla has used to launch and sustain her own successful career and help others move forward, recover from setbacks, and position themselves for success.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Though I'm in my fifth career (so far!), I devoured <i>Strategize to Win</i>, eager for Carla's signature pearls of leadership wisdom.
