      Starred review from August 1, 2017

      Leadership consultant and speaker Sander Flaum (chair, Fordham Univ. Gabelli Graduate Sch. of Business Administration Leadership Forum; Big Shoes: How Successful Leaders Grow into New Roles) and his wife, marketing consultant Mechele Flaum (coauthor, The 100-Mile Walk: A Father and Son on a Quest To Find the Essence of Leadership), have crafted the manual for propelling your career forward with projects of recognizable impact. They contend that working hard at your job is not enough in today's workplace; the rules have changed. To work smarter and strategically, the Flaums suggest the following: understand your current situation; learn to identify projects that are valued; garner support; implement impact projects; get distance out of your successes; and stay self-aware, motivated, and ethical. Real-life examples from veteran professionals, newly minted leaders in stretch roles, and entrepreneurs in a variety of industries illustrate the Flaums' advice. Significant is the list of impact projects and their implementation. VERDICT Highly recommended. This concise, well-researched, and insightful book is a must-read for students of business as well as current industry professionals.--Jane Scott, Clark Lib., Univ. of Portland, OR
