Now more than half a million copies later, Alan Axelrod, bestselling author of Patton on Leadership and Elizabeth I, CEO, updates the tale to address today's most pressing work issues, and shows how classic values such as honesty, determination, passion, and personal responsibility can-and do-get you ahead. In The Go-Getter, Bill Peck, a war veteran, is offered the ultimate opportunity and test by his bosses. He is sent on a quest for the blue vase, a timeless metaphor for the impossible project that inevitably gets thrown in every employee's lap, giving them an opportunity to prove that they are ready to take on bigger assignments and responsibility-or accept defeat when obstacles cross their path. In a time when jobs are tight and managers do not have the time to mentor employees, how can you maintain positive energy, take control of your career, and prepare yourself for the tests that come your way? By applying the timeless lessons in this parable, employees at all levels can learn to rekindle the go-getter in themselves. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Go-GetterI received this book on October 27th, when you said that I would. I appreciate that I got it then. I have read it and it is a very good book and short as I am a slow reader. It is a good book of encouragement as to what a person stives to do in life can be accomplished if we strive hard to do it no matter the obstacles maybe in our way. Rating: - Get 'em!It's a little book with a lot of inspiration. First published in 1921, Kyne's fable about Mr. Peck illustrates the value of never quitting and completing your goals. While the tale is told simply and without a lot of flowery language, the message itself is entirely worth the hour or so it took me to read. It's only a little over 80 pages long, and the print is large! Rating: - John Nuzzolese, President of The Landlord Protection AgencyThe Go Getter by Peter B. Kyne was first introduced to me as an audio tape from Robert Allen's "Challenge" seminar in 1987. It was fantastic motivation that I still treasure. The story of the blue vase has motivated me and encouraged me in business and life to never give up. It has inspired me to accomplish what some consider impossible tasks with the words "it shall be done" ingrained in my mind. About two years ago, my wife found it on Amazon.com and gave it to me for Christmas. Now ... Read More Rating: - A great readShort, to the point, and teaches a lesson. This is the book that termed the phrase go-getter and really shows what it is to be one. The themes and story translate very well to todays era, every high school student should read this book or have it read during graduation. Rating:  - Simple, brief, and to the point. A valuable lesson for all.If your intent of reading self help books is to discover a resounding message that will resonate in your life, I can certainly recommend The Go Getter. Its directness of message is only matched by its brevity. There is merely a lone principal to be uncovered within this book, but the message is timeless and profound. This book garnered 4 stars from me because although the message is found among many other self help books, I can only think of a handful that display its portrayal and ... Read More
