Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

When you spend so much time at work, it makes sense to be able to enjoy what you do and who you do with. There are so many good ideas in her, anyone should be able to get their workplace to buy into at least one of them. It's actually a leadership style that helps both sides of the table.

I love the content and the ideas which come as a result of it. I read this book when it first came out, and then again a second time. This is the first time I have listened to the audiobook. It just seems a shame the publisher used “a voice” and did not have Mike Veeck narrating the book. The content is king and it is well worth your time.

Great Revisit

Even though a lot can be applied to all jobs, it’s still very focused on working in sports. If you are breaking into sports, or you are a new manager in the sports field I would absolutely recommend.

Slightly Dated but still good stuff
