With a writing style best described as full-throttle rant, the host of the A&E reality show Big Spender reveals the naked truth about careers... Winget sets a high threshold for delivering a likeable, useful book that will educate and promote behavioral changes. Yet he delivers. His brutal frankness about what's wrong with how business--big and small--operate offers a refreshing contrast to other career counseling and management books... Winget's advice is solid: delivering results is the most fulfilling career move one can make. ( Publisher's Weekly ), Thin skinned? No sense of humor? Don't read this book! I warned you. On the other hand, if you want to read a book that cuts through the normal fluff and challenges you personally, then pay attention: Larry Winget will irritate you to be a better employee and a better person.

(Mark Sanborn, CSP, CPAE President, Sanborn & Associates, Inc., author of "The Fred Factor"), Larry Winget simultaneously takes on everyone from smart-ass employees and motivational speakers to bad service, bad salespeople and bad bosses.

Synopsis
Larry Winget, America's pitbull of personal development, makes the case that poor results in the workplace ae the result of apathy and poor performance: workers are poorly trained, customer service is atrocious and companies are willing to tolerate it., The author of the #1 West Street Journal bestseller Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life strikes again with the straight talk and raw truths that will shove you out of your comfort zone - and into a whole new league, The author of the #1 "Wall Street Journal" bestseller "Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life" strikes again with the straight talk and raw truths that will shove readers out of the comfort zone and into a whole new league., The #1 bestselling author of "Shut Up, Stop Whining, & Get a Life" reveals the only thing you need to know to succeed in business: YOUR SUCCESS IS YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT! Some authors of business books stroke your ego by reinforcing information you already know. Others give you detailed statistical analysis of the economy, or buying trends, encouraging you to get lost in the pages of boredom until you have no idea what the book is even about. Some authors exploit the hottest buzzword and beat it to death, without giving you any real idea how to do what they suggest must be done. Some say that all you have to do is love your job in order to be successful at it. The worst of the lot tell cute little parables through inane dialogues with messages so simple and trite that we should all be insulted. In ITS CALLED WORK FOR A REASON, Larry Winget tells the unvarnished truth about what it takes to be successful: NOT business jargon (Forget branding! Forget thinking outside the box"youre not in a box!") NOT parables (Who cares who moved your cheese"what cheese?") NOT praise sandwiches (talk about cheese!) Just the one key ingredient to success in business: Work! Are you frustrated with a lack of results at work? Have you hit a wall? Are you uninspired, stuck in a rut, feeling underappreciated? Well, good news: your success is not up to your boss, your manager, your employees, or the economy. Its up to YOU. Business is never bad, people are just bad at being in business. If that makes you mad, this book is for you. Larry Winget hacks through the bad advice given in most business books, explaining why *Teamwork doesnt work *We are all stealing from our companiesand ourselves *Success is simple *Results are everything *You dont have to love your job (but it helps!) You will be surprised, you will laugh, and you will discover motivation you never knew you had. Let Larry Winget shock you out of your comfort zone, and into a whole new league., Most business books on the market today stroke people's egos by telling them what they want to hear and by reinforcing what they already know. Larry Winget makes the case that poor results in the workplace are the result of apathy and poor performance. He points the finger of blame exactly where it needs to be pointed: the face of the reader.

    Heavyweight with practical suggestions

    Straightforward, hard hitting return to traditional values and work ethic that seems to be lost on today's generation of young adults. Not sure if young or older adults are listening, but if they are....Larry Winget's advice will not only help them become "invaluable" in their workplace, but successful and content in their lives. Don't appreciate the curse words, but assume since the book is written to be tough hitting, the author must feel they are necessary to grab the audience's attention.
