This is not a book that you would read cover-to-cover, but it is definitely a great reference book to keep on your shelf. Anyone who manages others, mentors, or provides feedback should glance through this book in the store to see what they think.
This book lists 160+ competencies of which it provides ideas on how you might improve. For example, if you feel that you might need help with delegation, then you would look up that competency and then you can read through points to determine if that co...more

I have the 5th edition. It's unbelievably thorough and delivers everytime I pick it up. Let's say you want to improve your comfort with executive conversations - the chapter answers all sides of the equation - what happens when you use this skill too much, what happens when you are deficient, what specifically you can do to compensate or stretch yourself in that area etc. Think of a professional comepentcy that you want to develop and a well-thought-out plan of how to go about it, is in this boo...more

An extensive self-evaluation manual on personal and interpersonal skills. I liked how the book is structured. The most interesting part is where correlations between various skills are projected into how one can improve a skill by compensating it by other skills.

This is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to work on their career. This is a very comprehensive guide for assessing your professional strengths and weaknesses. And then it provides a fantastic list of improvement ideas and further reading to address any aspect of your professional life that you'd like to work on. Again, a fantastic resource for any professional.

I have the 5th edition. Very insightful book gives tips on how to work on our weaknesses & play to our strengths while at the same time not become overbearing and monotone in our talents. A must read for anyone working in a team environment or those with careers in today's corporate America or middle-management.

Great book to help you when you reach a point and you wonder what is next and how you can grow. Large list of valuable skills explaining each of them in depth and advising on how to becoming better with them. from there it is up to you to apply it or not!

It's worth having your own copy of this book so you can mark it up, like a workbook. I borrowed a copy, and read through parts, but it would be much more effective used as a work book or along with a journal.

I have this book and love it! I was given an edition as a gift and I had to buy a more recent edition because the one I was given was constently being lent out. I use it as a reference and resource for myself, my employees and anyone I'm mentoring. Great book, wonderful resource!

Recommended to me by a client - ties in nicely with job right job design, effective and ineffective performance in a role and the use of Hogan Assessments to ascertain the personality, potential derailers and values in a person. Will be an invaluable coaching resource.

Excellent resource for professional development: both for your self and those you work with.

I'm not sure you can actually ever be done reading this book. Very informative and helpful in personal growth and development.

This book is really a great resource for developing your self - highly recommended

This is a great tool/resource for managers and teams.

I love this book. It is a great resource for handling HR issues and for self-improvement.

Dec 19, 2007Jim rated it really liked it

Great help for managing people.

This is a rather extensive tome of HR and development. Good place to start for odd issues. I feel people could live in this book and never get outside of it, that'd be the only downfall I see.

6oo page tome on core competencies. looks like a handy reference. clearly not something you would sit down and read cover to cover.

This book is fantastic for identifying perceived négative traits as overused skills.
This is powerful information paired with Brene Brown's work on empathy and shame can provide a scaffolding for becoming thé person you want to be.
FYI does this by providing tangible actions To overcome behaviors that are considered négative i.e. 'I am not bossy...I am thé boss'

Jul 25, 2017sachinchakote rated it really liked it

This book is like a crash into the competency you want to quickly work upon.
No more than 3 / 4 page per competency , has good reference to read further and very crisp guide into improving competency.
I somehow feel this is more for an advanced training than a beginners guide to improving competencies

Essential tool for anyone who wants to rise in leadership. I've used this guide for 25 years to sharpen the saw. Highly recommend for new business grads entering their first role, for newly promoted leaders, and for leaders who want to restart their career momentum.

This isn't really a book that you read as it offers more of a framework for professional development. I keep it nearby and use it as a reference, especially for career development work.

Mar 16, 2018Kristie Brusse rated it it was amazing

Some useful tips for self improvement, somewhat undermined by the constant references to the Lominger Leadership Architect® throughout the book.

I still use this book for coaching and personal development - it is a great tool for understanding strengths and weaknesses!
