Economy & Business
Your personal goals need a long-term strategy.
It's no secret that we're pushed to the limit. Today's professionals feel rushed, overwhelmed, and perennially behind. How can we break out of the cycle and create the kind of interesting, meaningful lives that we all seek? Just as CEOs who optimize for quarterly profits often fail to make the strategic investments necessary for long-term growth, the same is true in our own personal and professional lives. As top business thinker and Duke University professor Dorie Clark explains, we all know intellectually that lasting success takes persistence and effort. And yet, so much of the relentless pressure in our culture pushes us toward doing what's easy, what's guaranteed, and what looks glamorous in the moment. In The Long Game, she argues for a different path. It's about doing small things over time to achieve your goals-and being willing to keep at them, even when they seem pointless, boring, or hard.
In The Long Game, Clark shares unique principles and frameworks, as well as her own instructive experiences, to show how you can tap the same twenty-four hours everyone has-but leverage them in more efficient and powerful ways to break out of the frenetic day-to-day routine and transform your life and career.

Loved the book. It covers a lot of topics around strategic thinking and bits about networking and the way that helps in your overall growth. Concepts around- Open ended networking , Relationship building, Strategic thinking and networking are covered in extensive depth. Giving and not expecting is always one of the key thing mentioned in many books and so does this. It also mentions about being a connector and how you should have discipline and give time to see resultsBeing able to say no is one key aspect in helping you prioritise and make time for things you love. The book looses its plot mid way but ends strongly and impact-fully. It concludes with a quote I loved. It means a whole lot more than the words…“It’s so easy to forget how far we have come”We should learn to appreciate our own successes and cherish them.
