From Booklist:

Dilenschneider offers lessons for all Generation X-ers in what they need to know about functioning at work. Decrying the lack of mentors in today's business world, he proceeds to use this book as a paper version or substitute for all the men and women who helped young people "learn the ropes" in business during years past. The author offers a variety of tips and insights that will serve a beginner well, including an understanding of the important grapevine. The book is built on three basic assumptions: today's young people are ideally positioned for success in the twenty-first century; a lack of guidance can shortcut great potential; and there is only a limited time period (14 years) in which to learn what is necessary to thrive in the workplace. The author tells us that the benefits of reading this book are self-knowledge, empathy, the ability to present ourselves effectively, and learning how to retrieve information and how to solve problems encountered at work.
