“This book is all about helping people realize their full
potential as a professional and as a person” Dr. Longenecker said. “My goal is to provide the tools and
resources to help people think bigger! This book is a collection of over 700
best practices, key research findings, leadership tools, power quotes and
game-changing career advice to inspire and dramatically improve your workplace
performance and career trajectory.”
“I was inspired by H. Jackson Brown’s 1991 best-selling Life’s Little Instruction Book which was
a collection of practical wisdom to help people live better lives, so I used
the same format and approach in writing this book to help people improve their
work lives and career trajectory.”
He explained that the book discusses 12 career success and
survival imperatives based on decades of research with high performance
professionals across key sectors of the world economy, including “the number

results for your enterprise. Readers will have the opportunity to explore how
to take better control of their time resource, how to implement fundamental
practices for improving their personal effectiveness, and specific practices
for improving workplace productivity and effectiveness.”
