From AudioFile
An uncommonly articulate professor and consultant explains the importance of being engaged emotionally when doing business. Though apparently extemporaneous, the talk offers reasoning that is concise and coherent. Originally from Argentina, Kofman speaks with uncommon wisdom about the truth of our emotions and about healthy interpersonal practices in organizations--how to make requests, how to respond, the importance of committing to results rather than effort, and the critical value of honoring one's commitments. With a deep well of human experience at his disposal, he transcends the confines of behavioral science and business-speak to humbly remind us that dishonesty, manipulation, and self-deception are costly. For anyone who wants to be fully connected at work, an attention-grabbing message and powerful audio resource. T.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
