Francis Maguire's book is the best I've read on taking care of your employees. It makes all the sense in the world to treat employees like they're the greatest. And Maguire artfully and eloquently does this through examples and applications. He shows how validating employees is how wise managers conduct their daily routine.
I have learned much. Thank you Frank!
I heartily recommend this book!

Wow! How refreshing to meet someone who actually promotes the philosophy that more can be gained by a kind word than with a stern look. In this "Get Over It!" society it is nice to know that someone realizes the benefits of validation and even documents how it can produce profit. Told in a sort of biography of the life of Francis X. Maguire we follow him from his positions at major television networks, top U.S. corporations, and even the White House. With each step he has left his indelible mark on all those around him. He is responsible for guiding the careers of Ted Koppel and Charles Osgood as well as helping major companies such as FedEx and Kentucky Fried Chicken build their company policies towards employees. How wonderful if every company had a man like this encouraging employee performance with validation and a kind word. He is too good to believe!

I probably would have given this book 5 stars but the glaring grammar mistakes took away from the book. Editors/Spell Check are tough...

Any ways to the book, I read about one book a year and I read this book in one day (plane ride back from Hawaii). I totally agree with his ideas on how to run a business, it's all about the people. He has a great writing style and keeps it interesting.

I am too tempted to send this to my two previous bosses...
