Summary: Good book overall but lacks first 90 day strategy
Comment: This is a good book oveall. It offers some valuable insight
regarding being succesful in your new job. However, this book never mentions the 90 day probationary period. I beleive this is becoming more and more important in our competitive work force. A lot of the material is common sense. Like avoiding
comparing jobs too much.

Still, it's a good book overall and I like the 12-step program.

Summary: A valuable asset when changing jobs or positions
Comment: Whenever you move from one assignment to another in your professional life, whether due to a promotion or a complete career change, the move carries with it a requirement to relearn some parts of your job and how you act at work. This book attempts to establish a template to help you through that process.

The book does a good job of laying out the basic requirements you need to address when entering a new job, laying out a one-year, twelve-step plan to ensure you are accepted by your co-workers and supervisors, all of which is designed to make sure you do a better job at your new position. The authors first define the problem, pointing out how newcomers are generally perceived in organizations, and pitfalls they tend to encounter while trying to gain acceptance. They then take you through their twelve-steps, which are prioritized to take you through your first year at work while increasing your credibility with your new co-workers. By working through their twelve steps, you present a better image to the outside, which helps get you accepted into the organization more quickly. And once that is done, you will be far more effective in executing your duties and helping your organization improve.

The book is pretty slim, and some additional discussion of each step would make it more valuable. As a baseline, however, this book provides a good way to approach any new position.
