happy employees and happy customers, and it's accepted that a happy
customer is likely to be more valuable than an unhappy one. Do you have
happy employees?

"This is much more than an inspired self-help guide for the embattled
employee. Jill Walker's knowledgeable and entertaining book should be
required reading for managers everywhere. They say that people work better
when they feel good about themselves, so how hard can good management be?
Keep this book visible. They'll know you're on to them."
Mark Bradley, author, consumer columnist

"This book could save your life. It's a surgical handbook for managing your
boss better than they manage you."
