Very insightful and helpful

Great book! Helped me understand what makes a good employee and how to implement it.

Keep this in hand

A GREAT handbook to use when you have multi-generational workforce. An excellent tool for teachers to use to teach students what it takes to be the employee companies can't do without. Highly recommended. A quick read. Uses great examples. Worth the time to read.

Great Book - Highly recommend this!

I said inside this book that "It should be in the top drawer of every employee's desk" and I meant every single word. Matt Bacak Author of Secrets of the Internet Millionaire Mind and The Ultimate Lead Generation Plan

Excellent book

If you want to earn as much as you can earn, for the work you do -- if you want to be as valuable, indeed as indispensable, to your employer as you can be -- Glenn Shepard explains clearly and completely how and why. And how far. And every bit of it makes perfect sense. If you've been told to work harder and sacrifice deeper -- but you find that you can't articulate the why and how -- and if you find that the lack of a clear understanding of why and how makes it somehow difficult for you to bring focus and motivation to your efforts to succeed in your employment -- then Glenn Shepard may have answered all your questions. If you are discouraged by the chaos of the job market and you are seeking desperately to discover how to clearly distinguish yourself in a difficult environment -- the answer to your dilemma awaits your patient perusal in these readable 150 pages. Mr. Shepard acknowledges that everything he's saying is common sense -- and frequently, book reviewers disdain explanations of common sense. But it's sensible, for lots of people, to have this common knowledge stated concisely and with a clear structure. If you're trying to become employed -- or if you're already employed, and you're trying to maintain or improve your situation -- this excellent book may be just the turning point you need. And Mr. Shepard enjoys good food and good service -- and there's nothing wrong with that.
