THE COMPASS SOLUTION
A guide to Winning Your Career
By Tim Cole

OVERVIEW: The Compass Solution was written for those who want to win their career, not just endure it. This is the definitive guide to successful career navigation. A practical resource that balances personal experience with proven theory. A guide for both the newcomer struggling to get started, and the veteran lost and effectively wandering. This book will introduce you to the four cardinal points of The Compass. These are the basic principles you can use to change your career trajectory; explained in practical terms and brought to life with personal stories. But the compass Solution is more than just a career survival guide. The latter half of the book focuses on three keys that can accelerate your climb.

AUTHOR: Tim Cole is a successful business leader, author and speaker. He invested three plus decades in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry—through dozens of restructures and five mergers. He held multiple leadership and senior executive positions and played a major role in the ascent of a mid-sized firm into one of the largest in the world, with direct involvement in the launch of 20 plus pharmaceutical brands—six of which became global blockbusters. He's managed thousands of people and portfolios worth billions of dollars.

MY REVIEW: The Compass Solution is a valuable book for anyone who plans to earn a living. You don't have to navigate a career for 30 or 40 years trying to learn how to be successful. You can sit down and read this splendid book and learn how to do it from someone who has already navigated a unique journey.

Tim Cole wrote this book for three distinct groups of people: *Those contemplating a career but lacking the savvy to properly understand and navigate that new world. *Those already in a career and struggling to find their way—which includes over 50 percent of the workforce in the United States alone. *The leaders who can influence and build the cultures that allow dedicated employees to thrive. You're not going to agree with everything in this book and that's alright. But these are the practical lessons that Tim Cole learned along the way. It's not a book on theory. It is focused on function and application.

I believe The Compass Solution will help you write your own career story. A successful one!
