I was looking for a book to put me into the right path as far as business goes. I needed a little motivation to do the right thing in some cases. Its an awesome guide for professionals in HR and other departments as far as management goes. This book gives you great insight on who to hire and who not to hire in special cases and how to do it in the right manner. As a manager of a large sales team, this book has helped me develop the team into a goal-oriented approach and has also helped the camaraderie between the team as they do not feel like they are competing against each other more than they are helping one another. Recommended for any manager or sales team leader and above who need motivational ideas to help employees.
