Review:

..". brilliantly written presentation of the psychological barriers plaguing American businesses... Fisher writes in an extremely personal manner, giving readers the sense that he is sharing his deepest ideas about management... The key contribution of Fisher's book is its intertwining of knowledge and insights from business management, human resources, and organizational psychology." -CHOICE "Fisher seems to have found the magic balance between buoyancy and density... the stories and quotes transform his writing from 'diagnosis' to intriguing analysis and explication. Add an assortment of charts, graphs, and other illustrations, and this hefty 'psychology' book clips along at top speed... "Invest the time, really read the book, and you'll probably agree that the central reason for an unhappy workplace are some well-defined 'killers, ' And, ever so handily, Fisher will lead you to one more (albeit unstated) conclusion: that there's a seventh killer somewhere here. It's a management profession failing to move forward with the times..." -Tom Brown, Across the Board
