Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Review
In The Inner Work of Work guidebook series, experienced organizational consultant Michael Baroff has created a series of hands-on guides that enable people to coach themselves, showing them how to develop key competencies in self-management and interpersonal relations, and meet and exceed expectations.
Baroff employs a unique reflective rather than prescriptive format to make these guides as relevant, real and memorable to the reader as possible. He skillfully uses a series of probing questions, thought-provoking observations and innovative activities and exercises that enable readers to use the guides by drawing on their own experiences, not the someone else's.
This makes The Inner Work of Work unusually flexible-it can be used by people in any industry, at any level. And readers proceed at their own pace-they can use the guides as a comprehensive, progressive program, or dip into the booklets as difficult situations arise.
The work employees do "inside"--improving their own attitude, behavior and skills, and understanding of organizational dynamics--pays off in improved performance and greater job satisfaction. The Inner Work of Work guides readers in taking over their training and being their own best coaches

At the core of this pursuit are the underlying goals to discover and develop who we are; to engage in relationships with other people to express a common humanity and unique diversity; and to actualize a sense of meaning and purpose through service to a good beyond yourself.
This guidebook takes you through your own very personal exploration of the 8 Dimensions of Awareness that form the foundation for you being able to "integrate what you do with who you are".
