For over a dozen years, Carnegie Mellon University instructor and corporate consultant Robert Kelley has studied the difference between superior workplace performers and their average peers. After determining that such stars are made, not born, he identified the game plan many use to secure better jobs, higher pay, and top career opportunities. How to Be a Star at Work: Nine Breakthrough Strategies You Need to Succeed describes these tactics--which he dubs initiative, networking, self-management, perspective, followership, leadership, teamwork, organizational savvy, and show-and-tell--and explains how to incorporate them into real-life work situations. --Howard Rothman

A few good suggestions and some interesting perspectives on what it takes to succeed in the workplace.

Re-Strategize for Glowing Success Potential At Work.......2006-06-21

OK, with all of the efforts of Human Resources these days to hire the right people, still about one out of every ten recruits run circles around the others. These recruits are solid gold. Were they born that way? Can they be made? Can they be recognized? The author attempts to answer this question from insights derived from a study conducted at Bell Labs. Everyone was interviewed and surveyed. The top producers were found by survey of both management and staff. The discoveries are very interesting. The statement is made that to become a star performer you don't need super IQ, great self-confidence, or silky smooth social skills. You just need to change your strategies. We have all seen people succeed without these characteristics - here's why.

All participants in the study were asked to rank nine work strategies in their order of importance. Now, here is the crux of the book... everyone thought that these items were important, but not only did they have them in reverse orders, they gave different meaning to the terms. So how do winners think and what order do they rank for importance in business strategy?

1. Initiative - going beyond the job - adding bold ideas - efforts to better it for everyone - tenacity - some personal risk - goes far beyond taking on projects for personal publicity

2. Networking - developing pathways to knowledge - sharing knowledge - establishing networks before they need them - goes far beyond just knowing people to get ahead for yourself

3. Self-Management - increase your value by increasing your skill - experiment with better habits - goes far beyond just mananging time

4. Perspective - seeing from a variety of views and opinions of the five Cs - the customer - the colleagues - the competitors - the company's - and creative views possibly involving other industires - this is far from just personally making your perspective thought well of

5. Followership - cooperating with a leader for goal achievement - can disagree with a leader by adding facts and seeking advice - this goes far beyond just doing as you are told

6. Leadership - using your influence to convince a group to accomplish - qualities of knowledge, caring, push-through - not just giving commands

7. Teamwork - taking joint ownership - everyone agreeing on a mission - it's not just doing your own job

8. Organizational Savvy - knowing how to navigate the organization to get things done - not just who to kiss up to

9. Show and Tell - persuading the right audience with the right message to deliver valuable information effectively - it is much more than showing off for personal gain

The author speaks of staying aligned with the critical path. That is the most direct value-added route that can be plotted from the work of an employee to a delighted customer to an improved bottome line.

Your heart must be large to understand this book and the meaning of the survey.

Five Stars Shining Brightly

It boils down to this- take initiative, network and broaden your perspective.......2006-02-16

Robert E. Kelley has outlined several strategies for turning yourself into a recognized asset for your company, improving your productivity and building a stellar career.

· Exercise your initiative. Go beyond your job description. Look for solutions to problems at work. Help out your co-workers.
· Develop effective work habits. Prioritize your job-related activities by how crucial they are to the overall goals of your organization. Review your productivity on a regular basis.
· Put together an expert network. It's not enough to become an expert at something, unless you are able to work with other experts to innovate and add value.
· Learn to see issues as others see them. Seek out learning experiences that will help you to see the big picture from the perspective of a customer, colleague, competitor, manager and from a creative point of view.
· Use teams to your best advantage. Check to see if the company supports teamwork. Is teamwork more often cooperative or competitive? Once you commit to a team, be proactive.
· Be the kind of follower leaders want. Don't follow as a sheep or a yes-man. Be dependable, competent, conscientious, and cooperative.
· Earn your status as a leader through expertise, people skills or an ability to create momentum.
· Learn the unwritten rules of the game. Know where to go, who to talk to, and what to do in order to get things done.
· Communicate effectively. Tailor your message to your audience.

Good Reference for 'Brainpowered' Workers.......2003-07-20

This is a good guide to success in the workplace for engineers and other 'brainpowered' workers. Dr. Kelly, professor at Carnegie-Mellon's business school, writes of nine 'breakthrough' strategies to move ahead of the pack, into the 'A player' ranks. While the somewhat cheesy title implies that this is a guide for lazy people (the 'C players') to sneak their way up the ladder, this is in reality a well-written and well-researched book that is strictly for highly-motivated workers that just need a little added 'edge'.

The tips Dr. Kelly provide seem to be common sense, but we all see hard-working 'B players' every day that neglect these at their own peril. (If it were as easy to spot one's own faults as it is to spot faults in others, this book wouldn't be necessary.)

It doesn't cover everything, of course, and the strategies aren't necessarily easy to implement, but it's a good starting point for someone truly motivated to improve their promotability. To that end, I'd personally recommend reading Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People", and this book.

Emotional intelligence in the work place........2003-05-30

This is an excellent book. The nine strategies make perfect sense. They are innovative, and will work for you. This is how to apply all your intelligences within the workplace and not just your IQ. You will recognize the ones who apply these strategies. They are the ones who may not have MBAs from Harvard, but yet are well liked and respected and go up the corporate ladder seemingly effortlessly.

The author strategies are also quite original. He stresses how strong "followership" is just as important if not more as "leadership." This is a really important point that is rarely mentioned in management seminars.

If you are a Harvard MBA, good for you. Nevertheless, this book will be invaluable to your success as it will give you the strategies and people skills you may need to truly leverage the superior business education you got.

Book Description

The importance of disclosure as a regulatory device in company law is widely recognized. This book explores the disclosure requirements of companies in their reporting activities, and seeks to bring together the main features of the reporting system. The book considers the theoretical basis of the corporate reporting system and describes the regulatory framework for that system. It explores financial reporting and 'narrative' reporting, highlighting the fact that financial reporting requirements are more substantially developed than narrative reporting requirements - a consequence of the shareholder-centred vision that persists in company law. The roles of those responsible for providing corporate reports and those entitled to receive such information are examined. The book concludes with some broad suggestions for future development, with particular focus on the need to recognize the relevance of the communicative role of corporate reporting. The use of new technology also presents both challenges and opportunities for improving the regime.

Book Description

The main aim with this book is to provide English speaking readers with a comprehensive overview of the German corporate governance model. The authors introduce the reader to the unique features of the German Business and Enterprise Law. The book deals with the most important company organs, namely the General Meeting, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. The unique interplay among these organs are also covered and the reader is introduced to the particular dynamics of the German two-tier board structure. Further the authors deal with the dominant role of the "German banks" and new players in the German financial markets, focussing particularly on voting rights of these institutions at companies' general meetings and appointing members to companies' supervisory boards. The final chapter gives an overview of corporate governance in the European Union, the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and corporate governance in the US, the UK and Australia.

Book Description

Rice writing as A. N. Roquelaure.

In the traditional folk tale "Sleeping Beauty," the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. Anne Rice's retelling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire.

Customer Reviews:

HOT STUFF!.......2007-10-01

It was so entertaining, in lots of ways. Don't read it if you want to keep the story of Sleeping Beauty innocent in you mind.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03

Take the domination and control Sleeping Beauty fairytale world and a new twist, and a lot of straps, paddles, ropes, and other elements of bondage and discipline.

Young royalty in this land are sent to serve older masters and mistresses in whatever way they see fit, most of it involving sexual situations, in general. This includes both mail and female.

They all suck.......2007-08-31

I read all three of these novels about a decade ago. They suffer every fault listed in the other reviews. Rice is absolutely fixated with forced homosexual abuse that goes beyond BDSM. And don't think you'll catch her balancing out the scales with lesbian sex, either. She's simply obsessed with homosexual rape, everything else is merely setting.

Left Me Wanting More.......2007-08-26

Claiming is beautifully written and gives you exactly what you want if you want erotica. It has something for everyone. I could not wait to get my hands on Punishment after I finished this book.

Either you love it or you hate it.......2007-08-21

There are some VERY mixed reviews on this book. It is for me, by far, one of the most erotic things I have read. I couldnt put it down and it stayed in my mind for days after finishing it. (I have read it 3 times now). I thought the 'Sleeping Beauty' aspect of it was a nice twist. All I can say is, Anne has one heck of an imagination. It is not for the squeemish however as literally almost every single page is filled with some sexual innuendo and MUCH more. If you are not into kink, then this book is probably not for you. However, I didnt think I was all that into it either until I picked up this book...

Anne Rice casts her lurid gaze upon the the traditional tale of "Sleeping Beauty" under the pen name of A.N. Roquelaure. Her re-telling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Reminiscent of the charged erotica of her novel Belinda.

Book Description

Celebrate the daring gifts of Anne Rice, writing as A. N. Roquelaure, with this beautifully repackaged boxed set of the three erotic novels in her acclaimed Sleeping Beauty trilogy.

Customer Reviews:

Genius.......2007-10-10

Anne Rice is a pure Genius. The Sleeping Beauty novels were elegantly written with such dramatic detail to the characters, their thoughts and their feelings. She explores the fantasy and eroticism of Domination and Submission with such grace.

Peronally I dont usually care for writing of this nature but I felt like I was in the story. I became Beauty and had her thoughs, felt her feelings.

Sleeping Beauty.......2007-09-26

I love these books
reading this trilogy kept me on edge the entire time.
Anne Rice is a great author. I Would buy more books by her

Most boring book ever.......2007-09-15

When a book has as its main appeal to be innovative and shocking, the worst possible disaster is to be boring.
And boring this series is. It is an endless sucession of beatings and spankings in the rear. Sleeping Beauty goes as a slave to the castle of the prince who rescued her, only to be joined by several princes and princesses who are also slaves there.
The characters have no psychological life, the dialogues are childish and there is no plot or action, besides the monotonous spanking of buttocks. If eroticism was this, soon there would be no sex in this planet.
The only emotion this book offered me is the willingness to spank Ms. Rice hard for writing such trash.

Erotic Lovers Book!.......2007-09-13

Written by Anne Rice, this is a compendum of BDSM for those who enjoy reading something different and challenging!

The Sleeping Beauty Novels.......2007-09-13

Anne Rice has taken a very different path with this classic tale and provides another story that makes you wonder if there is a Happily Ever After. A very exotic, erotic read!

Book Description

From bestselling author Anne Rice, writing as A.N. Roquleaure. In the traditional folktale of 'Sleeping Beauty,' the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind's unconscious. Now Anne Rice's retelling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Here the Prince reawakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him…as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience.

Customer Reviews:

i could NOT put it down.......2005-04-13

I absolutely LOVED this book! I couldn't put it down from the moment it came in the mail. I think, though, you would have to be open-minded to what the book has to offer to appreciate it. I love tales of medieval times and this book just absolutely made my day by offering much more than that :)

GENIUS.......2004-11-04

For many, the concept of this book will be a turn off. But wait! S & M is alive and well and living in the castle with Beauty. Expand your mind for a moment, though: it's fiction. It's out there. Only Anne Rice could depict such a crude, erotic and lustful tale with finesse. Brilliant! Open your mind, dear feminists. It's degrading and nasty ... and it's meant to be. You don't have to want to do these things ... or even be a sexual deviant. It's literature. Rice brings you into a world you'd be too frightened to enter in real life, and sorry to leave in the safe confines of your own room, sexual fantasy and fictionland. The third book of the trilogy is equally decadent: raw and fascinating. I loved these books and was sorry to see that others here didn't "get it". If you're ready to open your mind to beautiful, lyrical and wickedly sinful plot and prose, this trilogy is for you.

<insert hysterical laughter>.......2004-09-27

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Anne, you wicked thing!

While I am all for bringing more erotica into mainstream books, this miserable attempt at erotica will only satisfy those who feel that sex doesn't belong in 'real' fiction.

Sleeping Beauty is a disturbing fairy tale. Do your research, and they're all disturbing fairy tales. They come from the days when we didn't have to sugar coat everything before delivering it to our children.

This, however, if the concept of fairy tales for adults taken to extremes. The beautiful princess languishes in the castle. Enter the Prince, literally, and let the sadomasochism begin! How his kingdom functions with absolutely no form of commerce, where eveyone is either nobility or a pleasure slave, is beyond me. This book is flat out sex, with very little in the way of the pretensions of plot. Bad writing, boring characters, and three books of a heroine who adds absolutely nothing to the story and confirms the stereotype that women want nothing more than a firm man (again, literally.)

Read the Marquis de Sade if you want brutality for grown ups. He was a brillant philosopher, as well as an erotic genius. If, however, you want to read about a few thousand spankings, "Beauty" should be your cup of tea.

UMMMMM...........2004-06-25

A perverted twist on the tale of Sleeping Beauty. She does not end up with a loving Prince Charming, oh no. The prince that has the privalage of waking her up enslaves her! He makes her do all kinds of stuff that's degrading IMO.

My god, if I were her, I would have totally kneed him where it counts. I am by no means a prude, but this book was so degrading I couldn't even finish it.

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty.......2003-11-12

I have read all three books in the Beauty series and they are a wonderful insight into one of our most primal instincts. The raw passion and fear is balanced by the lushness of the world she creates. Ultimately, Beauty is seduced by everything she sees and experiences. It's a wonderful series that I feel doesn't get as much attention as they deserve.
