On target... a great rev up - everyone'll buy one for their boss!!!&quot; <em><span class="style28 style6">(He ordered 45 copies for his international senior management team!)</span></em><strong>Kevin Roberts, Worldwide CEO,<span class="style29"><font color="#ff0000"> Saatchi &amp; Saatchi</font></span></strong> </p> <p class="style6 style28">&quot;Almost every client I work with wants to work for a boss who sets clear goals, gives meaningful feedback, and lets workers get on with their jobs.
