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.

Best Career Book I Have Read
This is the first book review I have written. It is also the first time I finished a book and immediately began re-reading it. I found Patty’s writing to be clear, packed with useful content, and incredibly insightful. She has so much credibility and made me take a really hard look at where I have been putting my efforts. Her book Move is also excellent. Can’t recommend enough!

Prepare to be coached!
This book is packed full of advice, knowledge and tools that I haven’t seen in any other books on management or leadership. This is someone who has been through all of this very successfully.
The narration is not like a memoir or story. It is like you have a coach or mentor sitting you down and giving you the straight goods. I see some reviews that found it off putting. I found it very easy to listen to and also you knew to listen up because there are some gems coming your way. Sure you could listen at 1.5x but personally I think the lessons wouldn’t hit the same.
I liked this book enough that I also bought the paper copy. Tons of takeaways.
