5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for employees of any size company, April 5, 2008

By	Ed Bonadio - See all my reviews

Kissing the Corporate Frog is a must read for all employees working in most medium to large sized companies. As a corporative executive who has made his way from the bottom of the barrel, I can say that Marilyn's take on corporate life is well spoken and will be well received for years to come. A book that transcends the last few decades of life in corporate America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Belongs on everyone's bookshelf!, April 7, 2008

Marilyn Haight's book does an excellent job of turning the leadership paradigm on its head, allowing a younger generation to examine it from an entirely different perspective and to redesign the definition of leadership into a modern prototype.
I truly enjoyed reading this book: concise, realistic, and thought-provoking. It belongs in every management classroom and on the office bookshelf of every manager.
