5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice for even the smallest company!, November 7, 2002

By	Barbara Kiebel (Englewood, CO United States) - See all my reviews

Mr. Bilanich's book says it simply and with useful tools for any size organization. Not the latest fad, just practical and easily incorporated 'secrets' that are the fundamental basics of achieving a high performing organization.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 secrets of high performing organizations:Beyond the flavor, November 2, 2002

By	Betty Strickland, CPA, CFO MHF Insurance Admi... (Jacksonville FL) - See all my reviews

This book was easy to ready yet full of very good suggestions that can be used on a daily basis. I found myself trying his methods before even finishing the book! It's concise, practical, and a sensible approach to the many issues that face us in our daily business lives. I would recommend it to any manager that wants to increase productivity and motivation with their staff.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Learn From Someone Who's Actually Been There", October 8, 2002

By	Stephen H. Roesler "Steve Roesler" (Medford, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have known Bud for 20 years and we have worked on projects together, discussing why things worked and why they didn't. This book shows that he's been tracking his own organizational learning and is making that body of knowledge available for others to shorten their own learning curves. If you are a manager, consultant, or trainer, I'd take advantage of the real-life experience reflected in this book. It's an easy way for you and your people to gain a personal edge on high performance through a relaxed, storytelling approach; and, all of the situations will look and feel very familiar to managers and supervisors everywhere.
