Review Quotes
"After managing people for over 15+ years, I wish I had this book when I first became a manager. Dr. Bray's tips about sharing both developmental and positive feedback at least once a week took me a good 10 years to learn how valuable they were! Performance review feedback should never be a surprise!" -- Millicent Tracey, Previous Fortune 100 Executive, Board Director/FinTech Advisor
"As a leader, the first few weeks with your team set the tone for how they (and you) will perform. However, many leaders arrive in their first leadership role unprepared by the organizations for the responsibility they've just accepted. This book is the training manual you need to succeed in those first 90 days." -- Dr. David Burkus, bestselling author of Best Team Ever
"When I got to my 91st day of leadership, I was completely lost without Dr. Bray and this book." -- Tyson Apostol, Survivor winner and three-time Survivor contestant
