Book Reviews of Basic Black: The Essential Guide for Getting Ahead at Work (and in Life)
Book Review: Great for a Novice
Summary: 5 Stars
Its interesting to read the not-so-positive reviews of this book, but I think quite a bit of the frustration is based on a flawed expectation of what this book is. I picked it up as a primer of sorts for my new career, having stepped from a staff nurse role to a position as an RN in the Department of Finance. What I knew about business could be counted on one hand. I expected the book to be the basics, and it was- while it may have seemed overly elementary for some, I'm the one who needed a book that didn't gloss over the basics of meeting!
I found Cathie's book to be incredibly valuable for those simple lessons and concepts- and also a dose of reality and the message that you will never be ready for everything, and how to make going with the flow work for you. As a true novice in the business world, all the advice and the illustrations through stories from Cathie's career were the perfect combination. I'm a better business woman for having read it!
