"This one took some different approaches that most management books bypass and focused on ways to keep your staff happy and motivated rather than just on "how to manage" and I appreciated that angle. Still a lot of "common sense" stuff, but an entertaining read nonetheless." — Jeremiah (4 out of 5 stars)
