'Ten Steps to Career Advancement': Consultant Shares Roadmap for Workplace Success in New Guide

Author Lenora Peters Gant, Ph.D., offers a practical "roadmap" for career success in the latest revision of her book, "Workplace Success: Ten Steps to Career Advancement" (now available through AuthorHouse).
This complete guide is particularly helpful in aiding new or returning workers as they attempt to further their careers. Gant’s 10 steps provide practical advice that will help workers plan and develop strategies for workplace success, avoid behaviors that could hinder success, transition from the academic setting to the "real" work world, track assignments and accomplishments for performance reviews, and plan and develop long-term career goals, she says. The book is also handy for managers in coaching and training new recruits and seasoned workers.
Through discussing various interactions in the workplace, Gant outlines the key characteristics of successful employees with clarity and realism. This prescription for workplace success also includes a list of optional actions, techniques and strategies that readers can immediately put into action after reading each step. The "Workplace Dirty Dozen Behaviors" at the end of the book provide a handy guide for detrimental behaviors.
The interactive nature of this book allows readers to be proactive about their career goals. Workplace Success includes various tools that will aid readers in assessing skills and competence as well as tracking and identifying personal action steps to help them prepare for performance reviews.
"This book will provide you with insights that can give you a sense of balance, smooth transition from college to work, help you navigate relationships and lessen the stress of dealing with those nuisances and unwritten rules prevalent in most workplace environments," Gant says.
