I got a lot out of this book when it comes to management on two parts. The first is as a freelancer and the second is as someone who is entering into the corporate world.

The book discusses strategic options and how to work with them in a subtle yet straight forward way in the business office. I prefer when speaking with someone over an issue to be straight forward and not fuss over the matter. I like the idea of knowing how to stay competitive yet not be an aggressive executive.

Communication is extremely important in the board room and this book provides detail on how to use it and achieve what is wanted.
