It’s packed with new ideas, techniques, exercises, and checklists that will transform the way you view every business challenge…so you can find the winning solutions that are hidden in plain sight! Reviews “The Advantage-Makers not only helps you avoid errors, it helps you see what is possible. This translates into moving the organization forward. You will be better, and look better to your manager, by applying the know-how in this book. Buy the book, have the training and development department buy the book, and then have your boss read it.” —Shelly Begun, VP, HR Xilinx “I’ve had the advantage of working closely with Dr. Feinberg on a couple of occasions. Whether you as a manager are trying to build a high-performing team of first-level managers or senior executives, you will find his tools and techniques intuitive and effective. His services have never been inexpensive, but he delivers results. You may not be able to hire him to work directly with you or your team, but this book will get you started in the right direction.” —Jim Haar, CIO, BEA Systems “The Advantage-Makers will captivate your mental and intuitive processes. You will experience many ‘ahas’ and be elated to find within its pages real life help that can put you on the leading edge of organizational and personal thinking. You will receive an arsenal of profound leadership thoughts and an array of actionable ideas that you will continually refer to throughout your life. So set back, open its pages, and enjoy the engaging wisdom of a cutting edge thinker and doer.” —Bill Fields, President, Packaging Results, Inc. “I have found the ideas in The Advantage-Makers not only useful in my role as an executive, but also in my personal life.” —Don Lundgren, former CFO, Frame Technology
