“The question Kathleen Reardon asks is whether you will continue to allow your workplace conversations to run you, or whether you will make them serve your best interests. Are you playing a great game of chess or just ducking as the boss throws rocks at your career? I’m constantly amazed at how few people communicate effectively. Read this book and join the few.”
— Peter Samuelson, former chairman of the executive committee, Panavision, Inc.
