Dorie Clark on 'How to Stand Out'

In the past, success in the corporate world resulted from going along and getting along and doing what you were told. Today, success is only possible if you can successfully position yourself as uniquely valuable. This book is a must read if you want to master that process.

Best Quote: Whether you work inside a corporation or as an entrepreneur, today's challenge is the same: how to add so much value to others that they fight to have you on their team. To succeed in today's economy, you don't have to be a worldwide superstar, but you do have to be deliberate about identifying the place where you want to make a contribution and start to show your ideas. The competition is fierce, but if you even begin to develop thought leadership, you'll dramatically outpatient competitors, most of whom never even try."
