5.0 out of 5 stars Christian Knutson, P.E., PMP August 11, 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
There are plenty of self-improvement and career-advice books available, however, you'll find few targeted to the engineer profession. This book fixes that shortfall and does it superbly.

This is an outstanding resource for engineers at any point in their career. Whether just beginning, or well-established, Anthony's book provides a superb guide for developing skills and competencies in the areas that will be essential to unlocking your highest potential and achieving your goals. The 7 key elements are truly essential to achieving personal success, and this book presents practical and easily-achievable tips and suggestions to unlock each of these keys in you.

If you're at the beginning of your career, grab a copy and use it to help you chart your plan for success. If you're an engineer-leader, then read this book to assess where you are in your own career as well as use it to help mentor the junior engineers that look to you for advice. You won't be disappointed.

As a younger engineer aspiring to bigger and better things in my career, this book provides excellent strategies, processes and encouraging words to help me set and meet my goals. However, these same principles can be used by any engineer no matter where they are in their career.

Format:Paperback
This is a good motivational book for engineers. If you've read a lot of other books on business success you won't learn that much new information, but reading something about positive things you can do for your career helps offset the negative stuff you hear from the news and some curmudgeonly engineers.

The parts on the PE exam go beyond motivation and provides practical tips on preparing.

The book covers the importance of setting goals, networking, and organization, all from an engineering point of view.

I'm glad to see this covered and directed to an engineering audience.
