In a conversational, encouraging style, she delivers on her promise."" -- ""Library Journal"" ""Every page of this practical, highly readable book contains a tangible tip to help aspiring leaders get and keep the jobs they want. And if you don't think of yourself as a leader, think again--we all lead all the time in one way, shape, or form."" -- ""Lois P. Frankel, author of Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office"" ""Narrator Coleen Marlo delivers Pollak's words in a professional yet engaging manner. The humorous audiobook conveys a lot of information, and Marlo's narration reflects that dichotomy. She uses changes in her tone to highlight the change from information delivery to humorous anecdote or joke. Marlo also varies the pitch of her voice for different sections of text to keep the listener engaged...Marlo does a great job sharing Pollak's rules for what it takes to be a leader in today's workplace."" -- ""AudioFile"" ""Pollak...presents an engaging, smart leadership manual for Generation Y."" -- ""Publishers Weekly""
