Recommendation

This valuable, helpful book by popular leadership author David Cottrell spells out in concrete detail “eight simple truths” to follow to achieve career and life success. These truths are self-evident and you can benefit from their presentation. Nevertheless, Cottrell errs on the side of the sentimental.
