From Publishers Weekly
Addressing middle management in a fiercely competitive, status- and title-oriented business world, consultant Bellman demonstrates how "support" professionals of all kinds, while serving their higher-echelon "internal" customers, can fulfill their own potential for professional and personal development beyond just "earning a living." In this updated version of The Quest for Staff Leadership , the author--using eye-catching headings and short, easily grasped concepts--contrasts the role of management and that of support personnel, while also providing lists of goals, rules, steps to success, rewards and means of self-evaluation. Bellman also offers support professionals advice on how they can increase their level of responsibility and influence from that of gofer or research assistant to that of strategist, even approaching policy-making. 15,000 first printing; paperback rights to Fireside; BOMC, QPB and Fortune Book Club alternates.

From Library Journal
Written for support professionals working in large organizations, this book provides practical suggestions for initiating change within the corporation. These suggestions are grounded in a model for change that supports the leadership efforts of managers, administrators, and supervisors who do not possess positional power. Challenging support professionals to take the lead in making contributions that benefit not only the organization but themselves, Bellman includes self-assessment questions for determining the role of work in one's life. He places particular emphasis on the relationship between support professionals and their internal customers as a means of effecting change. A timely and well-written book; recommended for business and management collections.
