Review "I applaud both of you for your efforts. It's been too long since I read a book in business that clearly shows that the authors do know what they are talking about...because they actually did what they preach. You did an excellent job addressing how we could take this complex and confusing business world and put it in order so we can systematically change it, transform it. I love the simplicity and elegance of this book. I love the small chapters. I love the questions at the beginning of each chapter; they do lots for me. Congratulations!! I'll recommend it to everyone." -- Maria E. Malott, Ph.D., Malott & Associates; Executive Director of the Association for Behavior Analysis; co-author of Elementary Principles of Behavior"The authors provide a rare perspective on human performance technology - one that highlights the human elements of our field's attempts to put theories and principles into practice in everyday business life. It's refreshing and illuminating to get a glimpse into the head of an executive to see how he thinks and acts on what too often are cast as abstract, academically oriented concepts." -- Diane M. Gayeski, Ph.D.; Partner, Omni Com Associates; professor, Park School of Communications, Ithaca College"This book is an interesting and novel presentation of some powerful management concepts and tools THAT WORK. It will be a valuable asset for the new and experienced manager, for the small business manager as well as the corporate manager." -- Geary Rummler, Ph.D., The Rummler-Brache Group; co-author of Improving Performance: How to Manage the White Space on the Organizational Chart"T
