distribute company data, many managers avoid live interaction,
instead relying on emails, text messages, Web-based seminars to
manage their employees. But although technology has changed, people

questions and use the answers to find solutions.

communicate, an otherwise successful leader who is simply missing
an element in their managerial toolkit
Following each profile are practical tools that will assist any
manager faced with a similar situation
Together the authors train approximately 30,000 professionals
per year
