"This book consistently hooked me to the narrative by means of reflective questions and thought-provoking activities, which in turn created a sense of how the content can be quickly and easily applied within the reality of the workplace. Consequently, this is an ideal text to improve one's own performance in the workplace and for educators in organizational behaviour wishing to galvanize their students into action."
