One of Wall Street's most powerful and lauded women shares her strategies for long-term success in any career
While climbing the corporate ladder, Carla Harris sought career advice from her mentors and superiors but found some of the counsel too nonspecific. As Carla's career advanced, she discovered the key survival tools to business success and vowed that when she reached senior management and people came to her for advice she would provide them with specific, play-by-play answers about what they needed to do to fulfill their career potential.
Each chapter in Expect to Win includes Carla's "pearls" lessons Harris has acquired during her twenty years of working on Wall Street that can help contribute to career success by aiding readers in navigating the day-to-day complexities and challenges of the workplace.
Carla Harris is a Wall Street veteran. She executed the IPOs for UPS, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, and Redback, as well as the $3.2 billion common stock transaction for Immunex, one of the largest biotech common stock offerings in U.S. history. Expect to Win is a must-read for anyone seeking battle-tested tools to triumph over common career challenges and to achieve maximum success in any field.

      Despite stellar credentials and more than 20 years of Wall Street experience, Harris, managing director of Goldman Sachs, clumsily delivers hackneyed business guidance. Broken down into chapters detailing “Carla's Pearls” of career advice, the author reneges on her promise to provide practical, strategic tools or specific, play-by-play answers and strategies for business success, depending instead on such standard business-book fare as “Be yourself,” “Know your goals,” “Brand yourself” and “Find a mentor.” Harris's strength is in her supportive tone; she speaks forcefully about asking for what you want, developing a “winner's lens” (the ability to always see yourself as a winner and present yourself as such) and the titular expectation of success, all reasonable advice. But handicapped by halting, repetitive writing and the mobbed state of the business self-help shelves, groaning with similar books offering more substantive strategies than this one, this title will likely sink without a trace.

      In this update to her 2009 book, Carla Harris, who also narrates, gives powerful concrete advice. Based on 20 years of experience in investment banking, she offers "Carla's pearls," strategies for thriving in the workplace. She speaks with conviction and believes that, whether the listener is pursuing a career in finance or some other profession, they will benefit from the principles she recommends. As she gives examples of her own challenges, she is forthright about her stumbles and unapologetic about her successes while being articulate and straightforward in her presentation. An experienced public speaker, Harris is the perfect narrator for this audiobook, and the audiobook is the perfect medium for her message. J.E.M.
