Sample from the Discussion & Workshop Guide
Each section of the book closes with a short set of discussion questions and a concrete next step — built for team debriefs, book clubs, and leadership cohorts. Here's a sample from Section I: The Rules of Corporate Apprenticeship.

Section I — Discussion Questions

• Think of a moment early in your own career when your credentials didn't translate into competence. What was the "email" you had to be corrected on?

• The author describes developing a "dangerous habit" of working harder instead of smarter. Where in your own work might you be doing the same?

• Chapter 6 turns on a performance review that isn't about output at all. Has anyone ever told you something similar — that being right wasn't the same as being effective on a team?

The full guide includes questions and a next-step exercise for all five sections of the book.
