Have just bought this for my husband who is also complaining about work - I reasoned that the author's other book - 100 Things is so damn good that his red and black book might well be what the doctor ordered. It seems to be detailed enough to help my engineer husband to finally work out how to be a great leader, employee, colleaeague and to stop coming home so downbeat and depressed all the time.

This book has toured my office with at least two colleagues also buying hard copies and others getting the ebook.

We use the author' 50 secrets as a kind of quide to what it is that we as a management team need to do more of, less of, stop doing, start doing and/or doing differently.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is leading a team and is looking to improve their performance, engagement and motivation.

best regards,
Bob
