Trade ReviewAn amazingly thorough and comprehensive book -- Suzanne Phillips * PsychUp Live *
....as somebody that's a nonacademic reading this book, what I enjoyed about it was that it was like a buffet of different approaches with commentary on, 'This is where this might work or might not work. This is a plus to this'...from a standpoint of leadership development, as I read this, I saw many components of leadership development involved in what you had put together here. -- Patrick Veroneau * Learning From Leaders podcast *
