I’m indebted to my wife Rhonda for tolerating the extra work this book has been, on top of all my regular work at Manager Tools. She was the first to read the manuscript. She said it was good, so it must be.
Many thanks to all of my colleagues at Manager Tools. What we do is special, and it’s great to have special people to do it with.
Special thanks to my business partner Mike Auzenne. I’m blessed that you run things while I’m busy thinking and writing. Beat Navy, partner.
A special note to my colleague Wendii Lord, who leads our Career Tools podcast. Wendii is especially knowledgeable about hiring, and I leaned on her for research and editing. I used the raw material from many Career Tools podcasts in this work.
Finally, thanks to the Manager Tools community of listeners, Licensees, clients, and customers. We’re downloaded three million times a month these days. Some of you have been listening to us for 14 years. We take your commitment of time to learning from us very seriously. I hope this guidance serves you and your organization well.
