Hey. Here's my absolute favourite business/ self help recommendations:

Crucial Conversations Tools for Talking When Stakes are High

The SPEED of Trust The One Thing that Changes Everything

First, Break All the Rules What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently

Now, Discover Your Strengths

I'm in Human Resources and I'm always recommending these to Managers and Employees alike.

I've just got our corporate library to order Strengths-Based Leadership, and I've got high hopes for it.

Cheers.

[Norma]

Added 'em to my shelf & ordered them thru amazon.com!
I'll let you know how they work out for me.

Thanks & happy readings...

Ooo - "The Space Between Us" was excellent. Very haunting writing. Did you like it as well?

Molly, I didn't care for this book but i gave it three stars anyway because the author was able to deliver a poignant and compelling story about two women in modern day india (one poor one rich) sharing a 'friendship/bond' but vastly seperated due to class and culture.
