The ABC's of Successful Leadership,
By J.R. Hardenburgh (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The ABCs of Successful Leadership (Hardcover)
I teach a course on Leadership Principles in the Call Center industry. Ray's book provides excellent insight on what is important in leading large groups of people and motivating them to peak performance. We use numerous excerpts from Ray's book in our course material. The book is an efficient and effective manual on the "art" of leadership.

Interesting quotes, etc. Poor value for the HIGH price!,
By djjncej@aol.com (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The ABCs of Successful Leadership (Hardcover)
Interesting grouping of quotes and stories. No new information and very little content. Most pages are 75% "white space." Not a very good value for the high price.
