Well, I always urge people not to be shy about tooting their own horn to get ahead, so this month I’m taking my own advice and delivering a blatant plug for my new book, Taking The Leap: Managing Your Career in Turbulent Times…And Beyond, co-written by Beth Banks Cohn, Ph.D. It was sometimes a labor of love, but as those of you who have written their own books know all too well, it was mostly labor with a capital ‘L.’

There are countless books written on managing your career. Each purports to give you the secrets, the silver bullet, if you will. Taking the Leap does neither. Instead, we focus on career strategies and leadership qualities, mostly because they go hand in hand. We have concentrated on the critical few foundational strategies – personal leadership, communication, and change management.

Taking The Leap: Managing Your Career in Turbulent Times…And Beyond is now available directly from my website.
