Absolutely a must read for all levels of readers!
One of the very best books I’ve read on Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and self-awareness.
Hard Hitting
I loved this book. Hard hitting, practical, and action-oriented. We all face bullies and opponents in the workplace and this gives you some solid tactics to deal with them.
Very Basic
Extremely basic book with entry level style. I couldn't get anything out of it that is not obvious to everyone who works at corporate. Save your money for something better.
