Book review of “Be Exceptional: Master the Five Traits That Set Extraordinary People Apart” by Joe Navarro. Navarro was an FBI Special Agent (Ret.) in counterintelligence and counterterrorism.
Navarro gives an in-depth and practical discussion of the five domains of exceptional.
- Self-Mastery-The Heart of the Exceptional
- Observation-Seeing What Matters
- Communication-From Informative to Transformative
- Action-Make It Timely, Ethical, and Prosocial
- Psychological Comfort-The Most Powerful Strength Humans Possess
Many “pearls of wisdom” by Navarro in Be Exceptional and here’s two of my favorites:
- To be exceptional you must do exceptional things every day
- Exceptional people are made not born
DBA colleagues, you CAN be exceptional! I give the book “Be Exceptional: Master the Five Traits That Set Extraordinary People Apart” by Joe Navarro, a thumbs up. Right?
