      For me, this book was worth its weight in gold. I now have an in depth understanding of what is going on in my employees heads, and what should be going on in their heads.

      After being recently promoted to an upper management position, I needed something to give me the edge to show I deserved the position. With the knowledge I gained from this book, I was able to stand-out in the crowd of management types. My superiors took note of how I handled the different people on my team. Bravo!
