Looking for a sure-fire way to intimidate the competition during a job interview? Just sit in the waiting room perusing the oh, so subtly titled ''How to Win'', with the book tilted at the optimum angle to allow everyone to see the bold heading on the cover. Of course, if more than one candidate is reading the same book, difficulties may ensue...
Dr Rob Yeung, a life coach and Business psychologist, aims to show his readers ''How to Win'' in a variety of situations: The argument, the pitch, the race and the job. As with so many books in this genre, the author promises that this book is different because it contains ''proven techniques''. Whilst I initially balked at this statement, I must confess to being more than impressed with the fact that it was actually backed up with a long list of references and first-hand accounts demonstrating how the methodology works in practice.
The book is aimed at those who are unhappy in the workplace for a range of reasons. They may feel that they are constantly overlooked for promotion, or struggling to keep up with ever changing demands in the job. Whatever the underlying problem, Dr Yeung uses a mixture of written exercises and real-life examples to show how those with similar problems have managed to overcome their obstacles and move forward.
