Reviews
"As a practicing Buddhist, I believe that having compassion for one
another on a daily basis is essential for living a dignified life.
Daily life includes the workplace. It is up to the leader to set the
tone. A workplace where people are inspired, mentored and treated with
kindness will always succeed. Patricia Forrester's book, Nice Girls on
Top, demonstrates that beautifully. Yes, it's target audience is women,
but men, too, can be inspired and learn the important lessons offered
in this important and ground-breaking book." -- <strong>Herbie Hancock</strong>,
