Customer Reviews

Good...

This was a very good book. It has been a very good resource for me to use and to reference. I also recommend "Driver's Ed For Today's Managers" by Helm Lehmann. He's mentioned in the book; his talks more about managerial skills AND consulting.

consulting on the inside - very valuable resource

Very hands on; excellent resource for an internal consulting course we were developing. Very practical and valuable information.

A must read for process planners, black-belts and management advisors.
