Description

A straight-shooting Silicon Valley executive reveals insider career strategies to becoming a great leader, developing your network, succeeding without wasting time, and managing trade-offs between your work and life so your life works. Patty Azzarello became the youngest general manager at Hewlett-Packard at age 33, ran a $1 billion software business at 35, and became a CEO at 38 - all without turning into a self-centered, miserable jerk. In Rise, Azzarello shares the insider secrets to advancing your career (while having a life) in three practical steps: Do better: Set ruthless priorities, and work and lead more strategically to deal with frustrating obstacles. Look better: Build your credibility with the people who can help (or blacklist) you. Connect better: Develop your network without being political. Get on "the list" of people who get the best opportunities. Whether you are just starting up the corporate ladder, stuck midcareer, transitioning, or eyeing the corner office, Rise shows you the difference between getting ahead and just working hard.

    • Rise: 3 Practical Steps for Advancing Your Career, Standing Out as a Leader, and Liking Your Life by Patty Azzarello
Format: Paperback
Rise: 3 Practical Steps for Advancing Your Career, Standing Out as a Leader, and Liking Your Life The Original` Marissa Mayer: How Patty Azzarello Became a Tech CEO at 38 A straight-shooting Silicon Valley executive reveals insider career strategies to becoming a great leader, developing your network, succeeding without wasting time, and managing trade-offs between your work and life so your life works. The Original Marissa Mayer: How Patty Azzarello Became a Tech CEO at 38 Patty Azzarello became the youngest general manager at HP at the age of 33. She ran a $1B software business at the age of 35 and became a CEO for the first time at the age of 38 (without turning into a self-centered, miserable jerk). I was fortunate enough to work for Patty and received a life's worth of wisdom. She is the author of the best selling book RISE: 3 Practical Steps to Advancing Your Career, Standing Out as a Leader (and Liking Your Life) Patty's book if one of the finest business and career works I have ever read. It is especially relevant to women in the workforce today. Patty's raise through the ranks of a mostly male dominated industry (Software Engineering) is astounding rising through the through the ranks completely of her own accord is remarkable. Relaying upon her own indigence, savvy and finesse Patty became one of the most respected and measurably successful mangers in the industry Patty's book covers a wide range of management topics from her raise in the management ranks from a lone field engineer to CEO. The book also documents critical management functions that are seldom carried out or measured in today's market place, accountability, effectiveness, and staff motivation. One of the most intriguing sections of the book deals with the highly importantly yet seldom taught or encouraged SELF-growth. Patty focuses on how to grow your own career and build your own "brand" within your organization. Patty teaches us to push ones self to the next level of achievement ("Do it scarred"). Some of the best advice I have every received. (No one said it was going to be easy) Patty's natural narrative style makes this an enjoyable read. Her humble style of writing reminds me of the folksy advice of Warren Buffett which makes for an entertaining book. A colleague of mine at a billion dollar Software Company engaged Patty to deliver a 4-day seminar. After the engagement I was never so flooded with emails. The Global business partner and VP of HR as well as CFO and CEO extolled her virtues. `"We have never invested in our employees and received an immediate return on our investment. Almost instantly, moral, collaboration, accountability and people stretching themselves to the limit have already begun"" I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has management aspirations or who just wants to grow professionally!

    • A MUST READ for Every Rising Career Professional
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Amber's Favorite Things Amber's Favorite Things
This book is fundamentally changing the way my brain is wired and opening my eyes wider to the things I need to launch myself to the next level. I cannot say enough good things about this book, but I'll summarize my top ones as it pertains to how the book is written: 1. Layout - the book is laid out in the most impactful and understanding way, building on the last concept and the ones touched on before. 2. Readability - I've heard people share business tips and details with me throughout my career, but never the way Patty shares them. They are easy to read, understand, succinct. She's direct, to the point, and confident with all her statements. 3. Content + Supportive Content - the way she shares information, then highlights a story, you immediately resonate with the content. The story allows you to become emotionally connected to the content, therefore, providing more memorable moments that resonate. It's absolutely brilliantly constructed! As far as content and thing I found to be especially impactful - the entire section on "DO BETTER" - so many amazing nuggets of information, more specifically, the parts about ruthless priorities, coaching your leaders, and communicating to them. If you skip reading the entire book, just read 20-37. You will not regret it. And then, you will want to finish the book! Overall - if you are a professional, know someone who is just graduating high school/college...literally, anyone you know is on their way to success, buy this book for them. It is the book they need and want, and they will thank you later. ... show more

    • A Great Book for Career Improvement
Format: Paperback
I've spent my entire career as a technical person, doing a great job wherever I've worked (workhorse - see the book for details). I earned my MSIS in an attempt to improve my career. But my career still stalled. Patty Azzarello, in Rise, points out opportunities for improvement. She's written an easy-to-read book that opened my eyes on what I've been doing wrong. DO, LOOK, and CONNECT struck a chord and her chapters on Working the Right Way inspired me. Based on her writing, I've already started taking control of my work priorities. I'm going to improve my appearance and start being proactive, too. In short, Patty points out that Managers and Executives think and act differently. You must have the right connections to find those jobs, and a different mindset and skill set to achieve great things once you land the job. I highly recommend reading this book to fellow technically-trained and technically-minded people. It'll improve your current job and help you see your WORKHORSE traits. It'll also set you up for success when you decide to take that step into Management and Leadership. ... show more
