What is your goal?
What did you try?
What happened?
What would you do next time?
What might you do if you did know?

A tad light but some good lessons inside.

[Megan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a great book for anyone interested in bettering their teams, organizational cultures and themselves as leaders. David gives the authors seven tools to success and even helps you implement them in the "Into Practice" chapter. This book is especially good for those looking/ working in organizational culture/org structure studies. David's seven things hit most organizational structure and cultural issues on the head: mismanagment. The downloaded workbook is super helpful and practical; not to mention its free! I give " The seven things your team needs to hear you say" a four and reccommend that those looking to improve their org culture, productivity and leadership read this book.
