A ladder needs rungs, and Calhoun supplies them chapter by chapter. His guide to practical success covers the working virtues, the habits of business, and the conduct that turns ability into steady advancement. Plainspoken nineteenth-century career coaching without a wasted page. For climbers who want directions, not slogans.
