What an inspiring book to read! If there is one book that managers would be wise to treat themselves to as a gift, it is this book. It would not matter whether they are low of rank or CEOs, in government, private sector, entrepreneurial or parastatal. All managers have to interact with their employees, colleagues and superiors, and this book shows some of the most effective ways in which to do so.” – Marita Botha at http://www.workinfo.com
