[Andy · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good book with some very practical advise on how to succeed as a manager,but also how to deal with issues in everyday life. I think the managerial aim of the book is more for those who already find themselves in lower management and want to move up the corporate ladder.
I appreciated the insight into life of the Author and the tips, quotes and "remember this" at the end of each chapter are well worth making note of.
Time will tell if it will get me a promotion ;-)
