Customer Reviews

It's all about Retention!!!

I hear the same story all day long... "I lost my job but it wasn't my fault!". Sometimes this is true...and sometimes it's not. Usually the latter. I don't fault these people because I think deep down people don't know how to keep a job. This book is truly realistic and honest in coaching someone how to keep the job they worked hard to get. It walks you through behavioral coaching, socially appropriate and inappropriate behavior, how to maneuver in the business world today (very different from our parents' generation!). It's a great read and I think EVERYONE would benefit...regardless where you are on the ladder (including the execs!!!).
