Review :
The Slaters provide a terrific multigenerational perspective on how young professionals can prepare for success. Much like a parent and sibling who we would love to have help guide us in our career journeys, the Slaters link together advice with personal stories in a practical and applied approach. The soft skills they emphasize and provide developmental advice around in Look Out Above!-from communications, to successful collaboration, to critical thinking-are the exact skills that employers most value, but struggle to find and develop in their talent pools. Russ Morgan, Sr. Associate Dean, Duke University Fuqua School of Business With Look Out Above! Bob and Nick Slater have put together a compendium of helpful tips for a successful career in any field or industry. Everything you wanted to know that you didn't learn in business school is here-from clear business writing and giving powerful presentations to managing relationships with bosses and colleagues. Sprinkled with humor and personal anecdotes, Look Out Above! is packed with wisdom and practical guidance for all young professionals. -Charlene Rothkopt former EVP of Human Resources, Mariott International Bob and Nick have written what I believe will become a must-read business classic. Should be required reading for the up-and-coming. Look Out Above! is filled with realistic, actionable guidance for distinguishing oneself in the workplace and rising through the ranks. Add to that, Bob and Nick's easy humor and personal stories will keep you as entertained as you are informed. -Jeff Remsburg Editor, Investorplace Digest (Young Professional) Look Out Above! is a brilliantly written and highly entertaining guide to excelling in today's work environment. It combines real life experiences and valuable insights with a unique sense of humor. LOA! is a fabulous resource for young and old alike. Lili Dunn President, Bell Partners Bob and Nick have drawn on decades of experience and wisdom to create an entertaining and practical field guide to career success. It's a must read for those who want to be more effective at any stage of life. Stephen Miller former Vice Chairman and Executive Vice President, Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC A straightforward and humorous insight into the fundamental (and often overlooked) soft skills that are critical for growth and success in today's business environment-yet not widely taught in Business School. I wish I could have read Look Out Above! five years ago. Eric Rasmussen Regional Director, Johnson Development Associates (young professional) I'm impressed with the vast amount of practical and proven information in these pages. I know they can boost the career of a young executive because I saw them work for so many (including one of the authors). If I were starting my career I would have a dogeared copy of Look Out Above! at my side and my MBA on the wall. Dick Michaux former CEO, AvalonBay Communities, Inc.
