Summary

Maine is known for lobster. Memphis is known for barbecue. So why would you go to Maine looking for tasty ribs? That's a question business consultant and author Ken Tanner belatedly asked himself as he tucked into a burnt, tasteless slab of barbecue in Ogunquit, Maine, one summer evening.

Every region of the country has its unique signature foods. Likewise, each of us has a "sweet spot"—a signature skill or talent that can fuel your career and raise your paycheck.

In Never Order Barbecue in Maine, Ken shares entertaining and wise anecdotes from his own varied career paths—as well as insight from noted professionals who have been there, done that—to help you find your sweet spot and turn your job into a deeply satisfying, well-paying career. You'll discover ways to:

  • Find and build upon your sweet spot
  • Get promoted
  • Develop career-enhancing relationships
  • Turn downsizing into a career-building event

Why should you settle for a one-size-fits-all guide to the summit? Never Order Barbecue in Maine contains priceless, practical wisdom for your unique journey to a job that brings you maximum satisfaction.
