Reader Reviews
I have liked all of the "For Dummies" books I have read, as well as a couple of books and tapes by Mark McCormack. This guy lives and breathes time management. Though dummies books are more like reading a textbook, they can be perused rather quickly. Planning, taking notes, assuming best and worse scenarios, dealing with the person who will make the final decision, etc.. There's a lot a person can do to make things go his/her way--especially when most people are just not willing to take the necessary steps. The author has learned, through the school of hard knock how to get ahead. And he has. This book doesn't miss a beat! I highly recommend it.
