Synopsis
In today's fast-paced networked economy, professionals must work harder than ever to maintain and improve their business skills and knowledge. But technical mastery of one's discipline is not enough, assert world-renowned professional advisors David H. Maister, Charles H. Green, and Robert M. Galford. The key to professional success, they argue, is the ability to earn the trust and confidence of clients. To demonstrate the paramount importance of trust, the authors use anecdotes, experiences, and examples -- successes and mistakes, their own and others' -- to great effect. The result is an immensely readable book that will be welcomed by the inexperienced advisor and the most seasoned expert alike., Bestselling author David Maister teams up with Charles H.

    Sam accepted an offer for a lower price than he was asking for a Disney lunchbox. It was a fair price. He packaged it with more padding than I would have expected and sent it off immediately. It came in the condition that he described. He even included a personal note for me. It was a pleasure buying from him.

    The quality of this used book was even better than I expected! It was described as "like new", however, I'm not sure it had ever even been read before. It arrived in some of the best packing I have ever seen for a book....or anything else for that matter. A thoughtful, kind handwritten note was included that made it even more special. It is evident that this seller cares about customer service and takes great care in delivering their product. I would highly recommend purchasing from them!

    Item is as described. It is lovely and was modestly priced. Seller did an exceptional job of packaging (item is fragile), and the item arrived quickly. I appreciated the kind, handwritten note that was included in the box. Definitely recommend this seller!
