What About It
I found Manager Tools to be interesting if not compelling enough to get into my rotation. I feel about the same way about this one; it’s slightly more useful for someone like me, in a non-managerial position. It has pragmatic, very specific discussions about the real-life issues surrounding building a career. The hosts are articulate and intelligent. The insights here are far from ground-breaking, but then common sense isn’t what it used to be, so there’s probably a lot of value here for some people. Anyway, it’s fine, not particularly outstanding.
2 stars.
