Book Review
10º to North: Sean Donnelly
A lighthouse, like this book, cannot be ignored. The tides and seas of life and career are more perilous than ever. No one would start their own business with the associated risks and investments without a business plan or strategy. Why then run our lives without one?
Sean Donnelly, ex merchant naval officer and renowned international business leader, suggests following:
See yourself differently as a small company ('Me (Pty) Ltd') operating in a market.
Follow 10 Steps or 10 degress to apply corporate strategic principles and models to yourself.
- Develop a Personal Career and Life Strategy.
- Run your life like the best M.D.'s run their companies.
This book is simple, understandable and immediately applicable. Each chapter and immediately applicable. Each chapter ends with a brief summary and a few "unconditional positive questions" that the reader can review. The challenge is to follow the steps and see what dramatic changes are possible.
10º to North links to a powerful nautical analogy.
Comment
Group Training Manager: Roger Smyth
"Of all the initiatives I have been involved with, one of the most rewarding has been the series of workshops which were run by Sean Donnelly on Career Strategy using the book 10 degrees to North, it is different and the response from those who attended was AMAZING. In a very real way many lives were changed and individuals took charge of their own careers."
It will stay with them for a very long time.
