Doing the Right Thing and Achieving All Your Goals at the Same Time
Ranked #40,245 in Business & Work, #528,703 overall
Doing the Right Thing and Achieving All Your Goals at the Same Time is a book about people who work in offices and why we fight. Why do we fight? Because we're not treated the way we want to be treated. What do we want? Different things, but principally, respect for our strengths and compassion for our weaknesses. How do we give that in order to get it? That's what this book is all about.
