"I find this is a great resource for its' comprehensiveness and how it covers all areas of our work: leadership, organization, talent development, customer service, work-life balance, and relationship building. Essentially, you have taken every positive lesson I have learned (and then some) in ten years of professional experience and reading and developed into a fully actionable road map. I would recommend this for my new managers as well as those who have been supervisors for years." Brian Goddard, Assistant Vice President of Programs
"Dr. Nolan's approach to delineating the pertinent skills, attributes, traits and practices for success at the employee and leadership levels is genius The topics are discussed in a practical manner with relatable content, which enhances the reader's understanding and improves the applicability. As a professional, I have now added these texts to my desktop reading/reference material. As a lecturer, I plan to petition the Department to consider adding both of these texts to the Human Service Leadership's compendium of reading." Christopher Spence, Quality Improvement Director
