Actually, I’m ashamed to admit it. Thanks Nick for a wonderful book – another compulsory reference book for managers who are honest enough to admit they have yet to grow up. As I read it I could not help thinking of Gandhi’s immortal words: ‘You must be the change you wish to see in the world.’”</span><span style="color:#000000;"></span></span></font></p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;"><font size="3"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">-- Trevor Gay, UK management and leadership trainer, speaker, and author </span></font></span></p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:14.4pt;"><span style="color:#000080;"></span></p> <p><font size="3"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span style="color:#000000;">“Once again Nick has produced an engaging, concise, and actionable offering of essential workplace advice, and this time for all of us.

Each chapter details the anatomy of a particular behavior and includes great dialog sketches, which are Nick's trademark. This book gets to the point quickly using examples we can all relate to and then coaches/mentors the reader with pointed check lists of do's and don'ts."<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#000080;">-- Susan Stamm, author of <em>42 Rules of Employee Engagement, </em>president of The TEAM Approach</span></span></font></p>
