Katharine Halpin grew up in a dysfunctional family in Mississippi so she had to grow up fast. She developed a variety of self-care practices that facilitated her 'escape' from Mississippi. She shares these methods with humor and practical thinking. Katharine feels a moral imperative to make work work for more people. Work did not work for her Dad who passed away at the age of 55 due to his workaholism. It didn't work for her for over 20-years as she worked unsuccessfully as an accountant/CPA.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Valuable Book for Personal and Organizational Success
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019
Verified Purchase
Not just what to do but how to do it. I wish I had been required to take a course with this book as the textbook my last semester in college, before I went out into the rest-of-my-life world. Or maybe my senior year of high school before I even went to college.

"Alignment for Success." Align what? Be authentic by knowing your values, standards, and expectations then align your behaviors with them. Strive for no exceptions.

Evaluate yourself and what's going on around you honestly. Don't be fooling yourself. Take accountability. Be transparent with yourself and others and strive to have the whole organization transparent so that there is no fear of speaking up.

Innovate. Take risks. Every failure is an opportunity for leadership to demonstrate their commitment to innovation by affirming every lesson learned – even the costly ones.

The value of the book isn't just these characteristics but how to do them. Knowing where to start and how to follow through. How to put them in place. And well written.

This book should be a required reading for every company that wants to improve their production. Katherine Halpin has the answers to your questions. She is definitely the "go to" person. With her coaching experience your employees will begin to understand the importance of communicating openly and honestly with each other. It's important for them to fully understand exactly what is expected from them and to then accept the responsibility for meeting those expectations. The employees will be encouraged to offer their ideas and suggestions in what could also increase company production. These things are extremely important and Katherine Halpin can make this happen. You will not regret the changes that you will experience.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to express my review of Katherine Halpin and her book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Katharine Halpin is brilliant
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2015
Verified Purchase
There were so many “ah ha” moments in this book for me. However, the one area that resonated with me was the concept of “self-leadership.” I had always heard that the only person you can control is yourself. Katharine Halpin provides practical and actionable advice for managing yourself, your time and your life. And her directive for scheduling think-time and self-care is brilliant. I whole-heartedly recommend this book and look forward to future books by Katharine.

Katherine's concise book offers an excellent road map for a leader. Starting with self assessment and focusing on attitude and communications provide the foundation needed to develop trust. I will use this as I coach candidates into new roles and through leadership challenges.
