This enjoyable collection of articles will inspire and soothe the person who believes that there needs to be more than just the "bottom line" to make a business successful. Canfield, of the famous "Chicken Soup" franchise, and Miller, president of Partnerships for Change, have selected materials from a broad range of contemporary business leaders. Many of the contributors were involved in the California Task Force on Self-Esteem and consider personal and corporate self-esteem to be the primary ingredient for success; here they offer their favorite techniques on building and maintaining it. Canfield's narration is well done, but Miller's voice sometimes lacks adequate flexibility and polish. Still, the quality of the material compensates for these minor defects. This program is for the person who wants to work for or start a business that moves beyond the traditional hierarchical model and is also recommended for public and business libraries.

The authors alternate reading warm, feel-good stories about work. Miller's voice is slightly nasal, and she sounds as if she's staring at the script, working hard to keep her place. Canfield sounds more relaxed; his northeastern twang, pleasant and friendly, gives a comfortable tone to the inspiring tidbits. Emphasizing thanking people for a job well done, these vignettes intend to encourage people to inject kindness into corporate America. Despite the enjoyable subject matter, these lessons could be learned in less than four tapes, relieving listeners of repetition of content and some of the tedious narrative.
