5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to my bookshelf !, 12 Nov 2010
This review is from: The Leader's Guide to Influence: How to Use Soft Skills to Get Hard Results (Financial Times Series) (Paperback)
Messrs Brent & Dent bring together contemporary perspectives in a tight rather than heavy approach to widely considered themes.
The tools and case studies make this a very useful addition to my professional resources.
I confidently recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about influencing skills and managing relationships.
