by Dr James Taylor
Contains really great tips on assertiveness and ways to improve. My favorite sections were on resumes, delegation techniques, and communication. A lot of the book is broad categories consisting of lots of bullet points and not expanding upon them. I found myself skimming these parts a lot, and really only reading the tips sections that stood out in red. Would recommend for the tips sections as I felt they contained valuable information and many success factors.
