Rites of Passage at $100,000 to $1 Million+: Your Insider's Lifetime Guide to Executive Job-Changing and Faster Career Progress in the 21st Century

Customer Reviews

Many of us play golf, a game which has quite specific rules as well as generally accepted etiquette. Managing a career is really no different but many people do not know -- or least understand -- the rules and etiquette. Most professional golfers have a "swing doctor." I view Lucht as serving essentially the same purpose for business executives. Professional golfers vary in terms of their size, strength, "tournament tested" competition, athleticism, judgment, self-control, and commitment. The same is true of business executives. Therefore, it remains for each reader to complete a rigorous self-audit. Identify strengths and weaknesses. Set bold but realistic career objectives. Then select an appropriate combination of ideas, strategies, and tactics from among the abundance of material which Lucht so generously shares. This is not a "job-hunting manual." Rather, a comprehensive and cohesive guide to nourishing one's career by nourishing, in the process, one's self.

John taught me how to focus on achievements and results when talking about my past instead of times and places. He confirmed for me the importance of living up to your promises. He modeled for me the ability to write succinctly. And he impressed me when he thoroughly reviewed the new resources available to executives and made sure that people could get the most benefit out of technology on their journey.

No career changing executive should be without this book. No executive should be without this book - because at some time or other, voluntarily or not, everyone has to change jobs. And this book is not a short term bullet solution - it's a philosophy of how to move oneself up the ladder constantly while sticking to your principles.
