Greenberg (human relations & psychology, NYU; founder, president, & CEO, Caliper) and Sweeney (executive vice-president, Caliper) share insights from 50 talented individuals whom they define as successful. That most of them are not celebrities should increase the likelihood of a connection with readers. These individuals have made their mark in business, politics, the arts, global affairs, and sports by focusing on their strengths, exhibiting a keen sense of self-awareness, a willingness to take risks, and a love of what they do. Following a poignant story of Greenberg's overcoming blindness at age nine and a summary of the characteristics of success, the authors take readers through the meat of the material, concise narratives on the highlighted individuals and on what they do best. The self-assessment tool included here will challenge readers with soul-wrenching questions about their own beliefs, motivations, strengths, and limitations. This title provides more pragmatic advice on success than can be found in Ram Charan's Know-How, Karen L. Otazo's The Truth About Being a Leader, or Spencer Johnson's Who Moved My Cheese? and will strongly appeal to fans of Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Highly recommended for self-development collections in both public and academic libraries.-Dale Farris, Groves, TX Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
