Review:
And Dignity for All: Unlocking Greatness with Values-Based Leadership
by James E. Despain
The uniqueness of this book is how Jim Despain shares his career journey - warts and all. It makes a great motivational read as it candidly highlights his fears in picking up a skill to not even getting his commission. He does not just spouse out management concepts; he lives his beliefs. It is surprising how down to earth he comes across.
There are a few sections that are particularly memorable:
1) How Jim's dad shot's their family Dalmatian in the head -; the phrase "break the rules, pay the price" really stands out.
2) How Jim stands up against the union because he believes in achieving his full abilities.
As a career counselor, I feel that this book is suitable for all job-seekers as it speaks out their deepest fears and rejoices their career high.
It is like a career journal and is a must read for all.
