This book is a classic when it comes to being an effective leader and how to have successful people-skills.

If you want it summed up: don't threaten people, make them feel important and appreciated, earn their respect, and then they will wholeheartedly listen to you and do what you want. It sounds weird to some people, but it genuinely works.

very interesting book i must say Art. I just read the first few pages and i am very interested myself.
