Review :
"The professional services firm is the best possible laboratory forunderstanding the concepts of relating and requiring. Because suchfirms are filled with high-talent individuals, a tilt towards onestyle vs. the other would fail. Peter Friedes hit the perfectbalance at Hewitt Associates¾and this book provides a greatservice in conveying to others how that balance can (and must) beachieved in high performing organizations." --Leo F. Mullin,chairman and CEO, Delta Air Lines "As a coach and trainer for thousands of managers, I find the 2Rapproach to be one of the most exciting new ideas around. This bookis guaranteed to provide insights to managers of all ages andexperience levels." --Lynn Trautmann, cofounder, CollaboraConsulting Group, a training consulting firm "When the former CEO of a highly successful organization writesa book about people management fundamentals, it's noaccident&neither is effective leadership at any level. The 2RManager provides managers personalized roadmaps to success; and fornew managers it's a good first look at what really counts inleading others. Not a bad payback for an easy read." --RandyMacDonald, senior vice president, human resources, IBMCorporation
