Excellent advice to prepare for final interview

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, this book provides excellent advice and concrete examples which will be particularly useful for those who have been asked to prepare for that final interview for a new leadership position by outlining how they will undertake their new role in the first 100 days.

Any additional comments?

It is disappointing that this new version of the book only provides access to the materials and downloads for the previous version of the book. Frustrating and annoying and seems lazy on the part of the provider not to have provided updated links when they are clearly available on the book's own website.
