“This book is packed with lessons for every manager who aspires to attract and motivate talented people and build a great organization. Russo is able to ground the best conceptual ideas in the wisdom of his own deep experience and share it all in an easy-going conversational style.”
–M. Diane Burton , Associate Professor of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
“David Russo has spent a lifetime observing employees and organizations. His down-to-earth admonitions may at first blush seem obvious; however, they are pearls of wisdom. Leaders of big and small organizations would do well to heed his counsel and treat their people as if they were volunteers–as if every employee can indeed make a difference.”
–Thomas J. DeLong , Harvard Business School, Philip J. Stomberg Professor of Management Practice and co-author of When Professionals Have to Lead: A New Model for High Performance(Harvard Business School Press, 2007)
“Passionate and dedicated workplaces of talented employees are within every leader’s reach. David’s been there. He knows. And he gives it to you straight. Apply his trademark, candid advice that you’ll find in this book, and you will start seeing significant positive, profitable shifts in your company culture almost immediately. So listen up!”
