Review of The Pro-Achievement Principle
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Pro-Achievement Principle" by Dr. Deborah Bright.]
Every organization needs people who consistently choose to incorporate into themselves, control and acceptance in all they do, and always make it a priority to always add value to all their endeavors. These people are called pro-achievers. Are you that person? Do you have such people on your team? If yes, then congratulations! You and your team are out for productivity. If no, then you probably want to stick with this book, The Pro-Achievement Principle.
The Pro-Achievement Principle is a non-fiction book by Dr. Deborah S. Bright that introduces and enlightens readers on the principle of pro-achievement. The book also educates readers on practical steps to follow to become a pro-achiever and make pro-achievers from his or her team members. It starts off by introducing the concepts of personal responsibleness and clearly differentiates it from personal responsibility. Responsibleness describes the character of people who tend to put in extra effort to make sure tasks are carried out successfully.
The book further explains the qualities that should be found in a pro-achiever and explicitly states that being a pro-achiever is different from being an over-achiever or trying to be a perfectionist. The latter is characterized by an obsession to attain certain goals and objectives. Pro-achievers work towards making a remarkable difference. They are not out to make themselves be seen as the star of the team.
I really appreciate that unlike most books about management and leadership that just motivate you to be a good leader and tell you what good leadership is about, The Pro-Achievement Principle explains with practical steps, how to actually become a pro-achiever. Dr. Deborah used real-life cases that are relatable to explain her points. I also love that the book is brief and concise but carries a powerful message.
Apart from the fact that I considered few parts of the book to be somewhat boring, I did not see anything to dislike about the book. It is well written, properly structured and very easy to understand. It is also well edited. Taking these into account, I give The Pro-Achievement Principle a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend it to leaders of any capacity. People that are preparing for job interviews can also benefit from this book because they would get to see how their potential interviewers think. By and large, I think everyone who is somebody stands a chance of gaining one or two things from this book because we all get to lead and make decisions at some point in our lives.
