What is it about the top tech product companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix, and Tesla that enables their record of consistent innovation? Most people think it's because these companies are somehow able to find and attract a level of talent that makes this innovation possible. But the real advantage these companies have is not so much who they hire, but rather how they enable their people to work together to solve hard problems and create extraordinary products.

Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to - and approach for - overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy”.

Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus public-health scares circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas (business people, teachers, politicians, journalists, and others) struggle to make their ideas "stick". In this indispensable guide, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds draw their power from the same six traits.

User Friendly guides listeners through the hidden rules governing how design shapes our behaviour, told through fascinating stories such as what the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island reveals about the logic of the smartphone; and how the pressures of the Great Depression and World War II created our faith in social progress through better product design....

Told to build our brand, these are the next steps
It seems so easy to understand because I guess, we all reflect around this topic.
The orientation found in this book is inspiring and set an order to those ideas we might be coming up to but not performing because inexperience or lack of reference. Would recommend this book also to recently graduated from college and joining to the workforce, it's a breakthrough to a new career path sequence.
It makes me think of how old civilizations honored wisdom by listening experience sharing which we are might be dismissing from our modern lives.

Excellent Advice At Any Stage Of Your Career
What I enjoyed most about this book is that the lessons from start to finish can be applied to anyone at any point in their career.
Mr. Gothelf explains in simple terms that your voice, your knowledge, your experience has value whether you're an accountant or a cake decorator or software developer. All of us have a unique worldview whether you are just starting out, whether you failed in a job or you have been an absolute success story. All of these career experiences can be leveraged (through steps recommended in the book) to make yourself forever employable because businesses are willing to pay for (and find) talented, dedicated, unique and qualified workers.
Another aspect of this book that I enjoyed is the author gives you a step by step approach to becoming an employee that will be picked by companies rather than you searching for the next gig.
If you like James Altucher, Seth Godin, Brené Brown or Taylor Pearson books then add this one to your bookshelf.

for those who are interested in a public career
unfortunately, the advice in this book is way too far from having universal applicability since the key scenario is around building a brand of your own through being on public via blogs, personal website, giving a speech at conferences etc.
while there's a mention of an attempt to do same within organizations (if you're not ok to do a wide reach), a person must be willing to pursue this kind of route if you will...
Thanks for the effort though!

Consistently Reinventing <br />
I liked it so much that I listened to it twice! The lines that stick to me the most are 1) we have to not just invent; but consistently reinvent. and 2) step off the corporate ladder and build your own.

Apply Lean UX thinking to your career
I’m an admirer of Jeff’s work. I’ve read his other books, heard him speak, and put Lean UX methodology into practice.
This is a neat little book, but holds no surprises if you are familiar with his philosophy.
I enjoyed it, it was very easy to listen to, and prompted some new thinking about my career.
