Harvey Coleman's Tips & Tricks for Advancing Your Career and Satisfaction
No matter your age or career status, you can get more satisfaction with a bigger slice of PIE. That’s the message of Harvey Coleman, a management consultant to Fortune 50 companies and author. PIE is his acronym for Performance, Image, Exposure – his method for getting ahead or getting more satisfaction out of work and life at all stages of your life.
His formula is based on scientific research, and his message will surprise you.
P is for Performance, and it accounts for 10 percent of your success or level of influence.
I is for Image, and it accounts for 30 percent.
E is for Exposure, and it accounts for 60 percent.
Harvey learned about life from early jobs, such as shining shoes, caddying on golf courses, washing dishes, setting pins in a bowling alley, mowing lawns, working on garbage trucks, cleaning ashes out of large industrial furnaces, and working on construction and in steel mills.
