Incredibly useful5
This book is incredibly useful and value-added for anyone in a management or leadership position. It provides a highly practical yet very thorough guide to evaluating and motivating employees at all levels and with different skill sets. Part III, "Phrases and Expressions That Work", is especially helpful in crystallizing key thoughts and providing the right feedback for the right situation in the right tone. I strongly recommend this book.
