Summary Of The Book In most cases, individuals have their own set of dos and don’ts for achieving professional excellence at their workplace. However, it is imperative for such individuals to analyze themselves from time to time, to determine whether they are meeting standards of excellence or not. The Professional Companion: How To Make The Best Of Your Workplace Skills provides the readers with practical information to make them more professional in their workplaces.
In his previous book, The Professional: Defining the New Standard of Excellence at Work, Bagchi threw light on his definition of professional, by explaining the attitude factor, action plans, the correct aptitude, and skills needed for becoming a successful professional. This book is intended to be a complementary text to the previous book, and provides the readers with a more hands-on, DIY style format, which helps them assess themselves. This book comprises quizzes and exercises that help the reader test themselves to find out their level of professionalism.
In one of the chapters, entitled Making an Effective Job Change, the readers are provided with a 30 question quiz that helps them examine every possible change that could occur as a result of their decision to switch jobs. Some of the questions he poses to the readers are, what they expect from a company, their knowledge of the firm, and whether this decision will have a positive impact on their career.
