"It's difficult to think of anyone in business who wouldn't benefit from reading this savvy, engaging cubicle-to-boardroom guide to success." (Publishers Weekly)
It's a treat to hear the management icon read all 11 hours of this tightly written primer on winning. The title is an MBA-level course with the extemporaneous spontaneity of the author's stump speeches. His voice, along with a stunning collection of insights on managing people, somehow engages the heart and softens a leader not known for his softness. Based on questions that he says came to him from people in classes and in elevators, the book seems to hold nothing back. For such a well-organized and encyclopedic lesson, this is a remarkably personal audio by a gravelly voiced author who is not just any talking head. (c) AudioFile 2005
