Inspiration

I left my corporate job in 2011, and I left behind many friends and coworkers that were unhappy with their jobs but didn't know what to do about it. I'd gained a reputation within the company of being that boss that people liked to work for, so I started exploring why. Also, people started asking me for advice on what they could do to make their jobs better, whether they worked for me or not. One day I just started writing, and then I couldn't stop until this book was done. If I can reach just one person and help them be happier at work, this book will have done it's job.
