A much-needed "people skills" primer and master class in all facets of workplace communication
Do you know how to ask for help at work without sounding dumb? Do you know how to get valuable and useful feedback from your colleagues? Have you mastered your professional elevator pitch so that every time you meet someone, they remember and are impressed by you? If you answered "no" to any of these questions, you need Great on the Job.
In 2008, Jodi Glickman launched Great on the Job, a communications consulting firm whose distinguished client list includes Harvard Business School, Wharton, The Stern School of Business, Merrill Lynch, and Citigroup. Now, Glickman's three-step training program is available in book form for the first time. With case studies, micro strategies, and example language, readers will learn communication skills that can be practiced and implemented immediately.
In today's economy, it's not typically the smartest, hardest working or most technically savvy who succeed. Instead, the ability to communicate well is often the most important precursor to success in the workplace. So whether you're a star performer or a struggling novice, Great on the Job will give you the building blocks you need for every conversation you'll have at work.

"A nice primer on the sometimes treacherous world of corporate / organizational communication and expectation-setting. Good read."
— Ian (4 out of 5 stars)
" Especially the last chapter contains some good tips and tricks on your personal pitch! "
— Klara, 6/5/2013" Fairly straight-forward stuff... if only we could always remember to be so clear in communicating! "
— Jane, 3/25/2013" I'm a dork... "
— Shannon, 7/26/2012" This is more about how to structure conversations at work than being "great on the job" per se. But the first several chapters were interesting, and I did take some notes away from the book. It's a very easy, fast, read if you want to give it a try. "
— Meredith, 6/15/2012" Great for recent grads, but not seasoned professionals "
