Summary: It's Working!
Comment: We got this book for our management team after hearing about it on the radio. We have implmented the ideas and boy are they working! Morale is up! I believe the productivity and profitability gains the other companies share at the beginning of the book, will be true for us to. Every business that has managers, must get this book for their teams.

Ads for Terri (5pp)
Terri cites organizational research and Gallup Polls as proving that employees who have poor morale are less effective and productive and that corporate bottom line suffers. She therefore developed and trade-marked her "coaching model," focusing on enhancing company morale, proclaiming that it is "not just another management model." Three positive reviews piqued my curiosity, so I got a copy from Amz. I wondered how a "108pp" book could accomplish so much - and HAD to know. When it arrived I found that it was actually only *79* pages! Huge type. Fifteen abbreviatd chapters, filled out with blank pages (plus some introductory endorsements and concluding pages of ads). Hey - I believe I could author a book like this. Actual pages of content (total the pages above) is *58*! Truly a breakthough in publishing efficiency.
Reading the book was also expedited since there was NO novel idea to challenge the mind. It's all been said and written thousands of times by writers who actually flesh out the principles with corporate examples, interesting stories, and details on exactly how to implement these changes.[...]
I agree that every one of the issues that is covered as a chapter in this book is an important issue for effectivement business management. NONE of them however can be covered in the *THREE* pages that are the average length of a chapter here! What in the world? What WAS she thinking?
I am guessing that Terri is VERY dynamic presenter and coach. Probably she hoped that her dynamism would come through on these pages. Unfortunately, without her physical practice we need some ACTUAL CONTENT to make a book useful to us. [...]
