[Nathanael Coyne · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a team leader and project manager I found this book absolutely packed with valuable and practical tips, techniques and insights covering everything from change management to running meetings, being an effective leader, self-organisation, and developing quality and productivity. You don't have to be a supervisor to get value out of this book. Recommended.
