Instead of conforming to corporate culture, however, she learned to achieve success by turning “uniqueness into an advantage.” From her own experience and others’, \u003cb\u003eRoffer\u003c\/b\u003e draws seven “career-tested steps” to help anyone facing the daily problem of feeling “left out, undervalued, unheard, ineffective, or misunderstood.” Unsurprisingly, finding and accepting yourself is the first step; later steps encourage risk taking, open-mindedness and trusting one’s instincts. At first glance, chapters entitled “Find a Few Fish Like You” and “Swim in Their Ocean Your Way” seem counter to the book’s thesis, but are rooted in solid strategies: identifying what gives you comfort “so you can anchor yourself in your own uniqueness,” and observing closely the office ecosystem. Thoughtful, motivating and compassionate, \u003cb\u003eRoffer\u003c\/b\u003e does an excellent job laying out the give and take of corporate culture—and how not to get taken. \u003ci\u003e(Feb.)\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, February 23, 2009)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eEveryone's felt out of place at some point - be they female, minority, a geek, a non-conformist, or just boldly individual. Fearless Fish will show readers how to stay connected while maintaining a unique identity, how to fit in without blending in, how to transform exclusion and have an impact. After all, there is tremendous opportunity for influence when you're on the edge -- you're already noticed! Fearless Fish will demonstrate how to make the most out of being noticed as you gain the tools for becoming more of who you are, instead of trying to change who you are. It will help readers use the tools they already have to find everything they want in their careers -- without sacrificing their souls.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments v\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 1 Go Fishing for the Real You 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 2 Use Your Differences as a Lure 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 3 Find a Few Fish Like You 69\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 4 Swim in Their Ocean Your Way 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 5 Put Yourself Out on the Line 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 6 Evolve by Casting a Wide Net 155\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStep 7 Reel in Your Unique Power 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFearless Last Words 211\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52276179337496,"sku":"9780470316689","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470316689_216634.jpg?v=1781364914","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-fearless-fish-out-of-water-how-to-succeed-when-youre-the-only-one-like-you-hardback-9780470316689","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
