The first thing to realize is that you have to be very centered about who you are, and then figure out the way to navigate. So, for example, people always tell us, 'Well, you gotta keep your head down, do good work, and your work will speak for itself.' After the first couple of years, that just isn't true. Then they tell you that you've got to play the game. And, of course, that sounds really slimy. And there is a third way, and that's what this book talks about.
