      All I Really Need to know in Business I Learned at Microsoft by Julie Bick

      Summary of All I Really Need to know in Business I Learned at Microsoft (Julie Bick)

      Book Abstract

      As one of the world’s most successful companies, Microsoft attracts a lot of media attention and intensive scrutiny. It also suggests images of intensive, ruthless competitors and a work-around-the-clock culture headed by young multi-millionaires who are driven by the thrill of achievement rather than by the need for financial security.

      Microsoft may be some or all of those things, but it is also an excellent training ground for business managers, because of its intense environment in which constantly changing, highly competitive markets can result in phenomenal growth rates. Opportunities to learn management skills that might take years to develop in other companies can emerge within weeks at Microsoft. Similarly, the expectations of success that surround Microsoft creates a corporate culture which has not only absorbed those pressures, but consistently outstanding delivered growth year after year.

      The ideas contained in this book are a distillation of watching what works and doesn’t work within Microsoft. The strong character traits of good leaders and the lessons that can be learnt from their mistakes are illuminating and instructive. The role of mentors and assuming control for the management and direction of your own career is explained. The same organizational, managerial and personal work habits that have been used by Microsoft to become successful can also be adapted and applied beneficially elsewhere.

      "The things I learned about doing my job -- being a manager, running a business and keeping my career on
