Recenzje

"Before I was twenty pages into Performance Management in the 21st Century I knew it would not be a transient title on my shelves. The author's ratiocinations are pointed, his warnings are powerful, his examples are poignant; I endorse them wholeheartedly. I keep his book on hand for reference and inspiration."
--Earl H. Roberts, on TaleWins.com
