Overview: Refine & Grow is a new book from author Lynse Allen, and is a guidebook compiled of tips from Fortune 500 consultants, executives, and managers, that helped them achieve career, network, and financial success.

Verdict: In a world where the only known constant is change, adapting and evolving to meet the needs of your employer can be overwhelming, frustrating, and depressing. Whether you need to find work-life health, solve unexpected roadblocks quicker, take on additional responsibilities, or adapt to a diverse group of personalities, it feels like there’s a constant influx of concerns and requests battling for your time, attention, and effort.

In Refine & Grow, author Lynse Allen shows you how to construct and execute a methodology to rise above these common pitfalls, improve your reputation, and take back control of your career.

An impressively astute, knowingly informative, and yet never once condescending to what we might, must, should, could, need to know new book, Refine & Grow: Lessons Learned on Navigating the Business World is a veritable must-have for anyone and everyone who sees value in building their skill set in order to pursue a career path that gives them purpose, and wants to make the organization they work for better.

As Lynse freely admits, your goal, as the worldly informed, business-attired human being that you are, should always be to leave an organization batter than you found it. For this is the concept behind adding value.

She goes on to say that for every lesson written in the book, the primary goal is to teach someone how to add value. Indeed, this was one of a few basic principles from which the book was actually written.

Of course, you must also feel that your career path chosen still aligns with what you have always felt compelled to do, or have a deep interest, nay passion for. Because if you are in a role that you feel no passion for and read this book, it obviously won’t nearly be as useful!

Compiled of tips from Fortune 500 consultants, executives, and managers, that helped them achieve career, network, and financial success, the book is broken down into ten chapters, opening with You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know and Find the Learning in Everything You Do, and also includes Be Buttoned Up, Be Okay with Awkward Silence, and both Don’t Avoid Failure, Minimize Its Impact and This is What You Do, Not Who You Are.
