Perfect Pick Me Up and Inspirational Kick in the Pants

A co-worker of mine gave me a copy of this book and I'm happy to say that it kicked me in the pants just when I needed it. Everyone knows they should voice their opinions and be bold, but we sometimes forget how important it is in leading the fullest life we can live. I keep the book on my shelf near my desk a work and flip through the pages when I'm feeling like I need a push to be stronger at work.

Must Read for all Supervisors!

A must read for anyone who is in a supervisory position. This is a quick read with a deep message. Great for group discussions!! Highly recommend!!

Brilliantly simple illustration of complex dynamics

I love this book. It is a quick read with fun pictures. Most of how we get in our own and each others way in organizations is subtle and almost invisible. Yet this book puts it right out there - listed as check lists where I can see myself and others as clear as day. This book is a powerful tool for supporting ourselves and each other being at our best. Michael Welp, Ph.D. Father, Organizational Consultant and Author
