Face it: When you’re new to the workforce, a disproportionate amount of weight is given to first impressions. At most companies, entry-level associates are divided into two groups: “rock stars” and “everybody else.” Effective Immediately shrinks the learning curve and allows new graduates to jump onto the fast track from day one. Based on timeless career advice passed down through generations of leaders, this book is a definitive survival guide for executives-in-training.
