colleague, have you ever felt that you needed a trusted advisor or
confidant to provide you direct, usable solutions? ... "Prof. David

sensitive questions and issues that arise at our work place. The
80/20 rule reminds us-80 percent of problems arise from 20 percent
of our colleagues and employees ... " The] book explores
organizational issues written in a conversational style supplying
tough questions with applicable, implementable answers. The answers
are a distillation of the knowledge gained from Dr. Conrad's
management experience and business education.... "As I read the
book, I found answers based on strong evidence from business
literature, dealing with real business struggles (conflict
management, negotiation, team-building, etc.) and the answers
describe the best tactic to handle the unique situations.... There
is a wealth of information in this book. I recommend this book to
anyone working in small or large organizations, students, or any
lifelong learners to advance their workplace knowledge and skills."
