I wish I would have had access to the ideas in this book years ago. I've gone through some rough patches and finally after being laid off at my last job (company cited financial setbacks, obviously people there need to read this book, too) I finally decided it's something I'm doing wrong. After a few therapists I finally found someone who seemed to know exactly what I was doing wrong. Communication is a big part of it. I've been interviewing, but can't seem to get past the technical (programming) parts. I'm pretty rusty. So, studying, but the thing that I realized when I read this book is I've had kind of a "I have to do it myself" kind of attitude. I always thought I was a good worker and really tried to do a good job, but it really didn't seem to matter how good I was, someone would always have a problem with me, but it was never with my work. I realize now that I didn't let anyone in and thought I was a team player, but continually did things myself. Hmmm. This book was a real eye opener for me. I'll be taking some business classes while I'm unemployed to help open up my eyes and my heart and try to stop thinking of myself and "just a programmer". I found this book very well written and forthright in what you have to do. It's not about being the super hero, it's about working with others to solve the big problems so that everyone can be the hero, and growth potential, looking out for the company and not just yourself. That's a hard one because there are a lot of people out there doing just that. I feel like I've been doing a lot of things wrong, and this book really cleared up a lot of things for me. I just hope it's not too late. 5 stars!!!!
