About this listen
A straight-shooting Silicon Valley executive reveals insider career strategies to becoming a great leader, developing your network, succeeding without wasting time, and managing trade-offs between your work and life so your life works.
Patty Azzarello became the youngest general manager at Hewlett-Packard at age 33, ran a $1 billion software business at 35, and became a CEO at 38 - all without turning into a self-centered, miserable jerk. In Rise, Azzarello shares the insider secrets to advancing your career (while having a life) in three practical steps:
- Do better: Set ruthless priorities, and work and lead more strategically to deal with frustrating obstacles.
- Look better: Build your credibility with the people who can help (or blacklist) you.
- Connect better: Develop your network without being political. Get on "the list" of people who get the best opportunities.
Whether you are just starting up the corporate ladder, stuck midcareer, transitioning, or eyeing the corner office, Rise shows you the difference between getting ahead and just working hard.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

The world’s most trusted guide for leaders in transition. Transitions are a critical time for leaders. In fact, most agree that moving into a new role is the biggest challenge a manager will face. While transitions offer a chance to start fresh and make needed changes in an organization, they also place leaders in a position of acute vulnerability.

In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.

Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to - and approach for - overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy”.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Come inside a jury room as one juror leads a starkly divided room to consensus. Join a young CIA officer as he recruits a reluctant foreign agent. And sit with an accomplished surgeon as he tries, and fails, to convince yet another cancer patient to opt for the less risky course of treatment. In Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg blends deep research and his trademark storytelling skills to show how we can all learn to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation.

Thank you Patty
Would you consider the audio edition of Rise to be better than the print version?
We've never met and candidly I was unfamiliar with you before hearing you being interview on Something You Should Know podcast. Great content and wise, useful advice. I bought a copy for me and one for my son and son-in-law. I'm near retirement but reading your book will help me in conversation with them on the topics you've written about. Again, thank you.

Great content, tough listen
Very choppy sentence delivery. I needed to listen at 2.25x for it to sound fluid. Great content in the book though. Really enjoyed it.

This author should NOT narrate her own books
Her reading voice is annoying to listen to. It's different than her typical voice. She needs to just hire talented narrators. Her voice comes off too harshly, almost as a reprimand.

The book every IC has been waiting for!
Patty is like the mentor I've been hoping to find in my career. She's ruthless with her priorities and she tells you exactly how you've got to think and what you've got to do in order to get ahead. She also does not waste any time promoting unnecessary social justice agendas which was a breath of fresh air in this genre.
Also, I'd like to provide a note of reassurance to anyone seeing the reviews criticizing Patty's narrator performance. One of my criteria for a great narrator is if I can listen to them at 2x or even 3x speed and still comprehend them; I had no problem doing that with her. I was rushing through the book at one point because I just could not wait to apply what I had finally learned after so many years. More importantly, she speaks with a resolve that is captivating and without arrogance -- an achievement all in itself.
