Customer Reviews

Simple, direct, and helpful

This is another step by step book similar to the Assertiveness one by Dena Michelli. I found it a very helpful book particularly after a recent promotion. I took basic psychology in college, but this very short book (96 pages or so) presents all the basics in a way that makes sense for a work situation. I am going to buy a copy for my younger sister who is just starting work.

Successful Leadership, Carol O'Connor

The field of leadership is vast and much inaccessible writing has been published on the subject. As a practitioner who has recently been promoted into a leadership position but has been given very little guidance about how to tackle this 'art', I found Carol's book of enormous value. It helped me think through my own leadership strategy and embark on my new role with confidence and enthusiasm. I would recommend this book to anyone in a similar situation - or to those who seem to be getting it wrong persistently - and there are many!
