review:
At the heart of Val Ries' book is the belief that "People are not disposable parts; they are gifts. It's the leader's job to nurture those gifts." And she spends the next ~150 pages offering a comprehensive playbook for making that happen. Chief Inspiration Officer is filled with strategies and stories that allow leaders to elevate their performance - and that of their teams. Her CAVE model is powerful and universal and the idea of microcultures offers leaders in any organization the tools they need to leverage what's within their sphere of influence to make positive change. You can't read Chief Inspiration Officer and not become inspired (and more inspiring)!

Your personal goals need a long-term strategy.

It's no secret that we're pushed to the limit. Today's professionals feel rushed, overwhelmed, and perennially behind. So we keep our heads down, focused on the next thing, and the next, without a moment to breathe.

How can we break out of this endless cycle and create the kind of interesting, meaningful lives we all seek?

Just as CEOs who optimize for quarterly profits often fail to make the strategic investments necessary for long-term growth, the same is true in our own personal and professional lives. We need to reorient ourselves to see the big picture so we can tap into the power of small changes that, made today, will have an enormous and disproportionate impact on our future success. We need to start playing The Long Game.

As top business thinker and Duke University professor Dorie Clark explains, we all know intellectually that lasting success takes persistence and effort. And yet so much of the relentless pressure in our culture pushes us toward doing what's easy, what's guaranteed, or what looks glamorous in the moment. In The Long Game, she argues for a different path. It's about doing small things over time to achieve our goals—and being willing to keep at them, even when they seem pointless, boring, or hard.

In The Long Game, Clark shares unique principles and frameworks you can apply to your specific situation, as well as vivid stories from her own career and other professionals' experiences. Everyone is allotted the same twenty-four hours—but with the right strategies, you can leverage those hours in more efficient and powerful ways than you ever imagined. It's never an overnight process, but the long-term payoff is to finally break out of the frenetic day-to-day routine and transform your life and your career.]]> 239 Dorie Clark 1647820588 Julie 5
The Long Game is an actionable antidote to the self-sabotaging urgency experienced by so many professionals. Author, Doris Clark, offers a clear path toward greater success for those who are willing to eschew short-term thinking and the tail-chasing that goes along with it. The book is filled with memorable stories, personal examples and doable practices that make a real difference. I’m particularly drawn to her suggestions related to strategic patience, exponential growth, and raindrops of recognition. And don’t miss Dorie’s powerful questions for achieving leverage (that I’ll be revising on a regular basis.) I thoroughly enjoyed The Long Game� and will reap the benefits of reading it for a long time.]]> 3.69
