Review of The Pro-Achievement Principle
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Pro-Achievement Principle" by Dr. Deborah Bright.]
The Pro-Achievement Principle by Deborah S. Bright, is a short book. It is introduced as a bizlet which means that it is supposed to take the reader very little time to read it, whilst also conveying valuable information in a business context. The book is divided into 7 lessons. In the first 3 lessons Deborah Bright introduces the relevance of the concepts for personal and organizational development and performance. In the subsequent 4 lessons the reader learns about the underlying aspects of the Pro-Achievement Principle in someone's personal attitude towards work, an organisation and team members. There are also helpful guidances on recruitment and helping teams to adopt this new principle.
This book definitively delivers on it's promises of being a quick read and of being structured as a concise manual towards improving positive collaboration within teams. The lessons are well structured and the author takes the reader by the hand, diligently answering questions about the why, what and how of the pro-achievement principle. Each lesson is helpfully concluded with the gist in bulletpoints. Although Deborah Bright has spent some pages staging the urgency of applying the pro-achievement principle, she has graciously limited herself in doing so. The majority of this book is about what this principle entails exactly and how to apply it in practice. In particular, the guidelines for hiring team members are quite practical and helpful.
However, as this work is such a quick read, instead of being an actual learning or coaching guide that teaches new concepts and skills, it rather refreshes ones ideas about work attitude, leadership and achieving goals in general. Also, as a reader you may at times be confused by the use of obscure words and new terms (e.g. responsibleness versus responsibility, the Entitlist and the Superficial Optimist), but then again, the explanations are very clear and the practical examples bring the concepts to life.
I rate this very well edited book 3 stars out of 4. To support team improvement in group meetings and training, this bizlet would need some more theoretical background and practical exercises. However, for those of us with little time to spare, but a willingness to improve, this is a very concise and low threshold read.
The Pro-Achievement Principle is an interesting book for anyone who works in or with teams and for people that are generally interested in improving individual performance and team collaboration.
