The Pro-Achievement Principle by Dr. Deborah S. Bright is a well written non-fiction guide-book for cultivating skills for leaders and employees to accelerate the achievement of the predetermined goals of the organization. It is the first guide-book in the Pro-Achievement series. The term "BIZLET" has been used to refer to all the books in this series.

The author starts by recognizing the need to motivate workers to improve the performance and quality of their work. She mentions various ways to motivate team members. This includes offering monetized incentives such as increasing their salaries, creating a conducive environment for them, and promoting positive attitudes among the workers. Moreover, the author points out the basic element of personal achievement known as responsibleness—which is a driving force behind people’s behaviors. Also, Dr. Deborah appreciates the importance of commitment, attitude, and self-discipline toward achievement of organizational success.

There are many positive aspects about this wonderful book. However, the educative nature of the book is the most outstanding positive aspect of it. I like the way the author expresses her ideas on how to be part of the winning team as far as achievement of the organizational goal is concerned. Truly speaking, for those aspiring to be leaders, managers, or CEOs, this guide-book can act as an empowering tool towards the achievement of their dreams. However, the only negative aspect of the book is the unnecessary repetition. For instance, the word "BIZLET" is repeated several times in the book.

The book is about 129 pages. Hence, little time is needed to read the entire book. It is divided into seven lessons (Pro-Achievement: The Individual’s Tools for Organizational Success, Responsibleness: A Core Component of Personal Achievement, Your Introduction to The Pro-Achievement Principle, The Importance of Attitude, Recruiting Pro-Achievers: A-Team Leader’s Guide, Introducing The Pro-Achievement Principle to Your Team, and Pro-Achievement in Action: A Model for Team Performance.) The use of illustrations in the book fostered the understanding of the book.

I rate The Pro-Achievement Principle 3 out of 4 stars. It was well-edited, as I did not encounter any grammatical errors in it. However, as mentioned earlier, the unnecessary repetition in the book made me not give it a full rating. I recommend it to people who are aspiring to be leaders, managers, and supervisors in the future. Also, the book is suitable for employers who are determined to improve the quality of work in their organizations. This is because it will act as an empowering tool as well as a source of guidance.

It sounds an aspiring read for those who want to managers or supervisors. The continuous repetition really frustrates. Thanks for the nice review.

I have personally encountered the problem of continuous repetition of points in quite a few books in the past. So, I completely understand your point of view. Thanks for the honest review!

A book that helps in "cultivating skills for leaders and employees to accelerate the achievement of the predetermined goals of the organization" sounds like a great book. Added in my to-read list.
