"At a time when there is overpowering emphasis on companies by Wall Street and investors, it is good to see that someone is still really focused on what counts in business and that is CUSTOMERS and EMPLOYEES. Poisant does an excellent job of putting that focus into perspective for the reader."-Les Alberthal Retired Chairman and CEO, EDS
"From Disney to EDS to the Olympics, Jim's practical approach to achieving astonishing customer service is inspiring!"-William Marre, Co-Founder Covey Leadership Center
"I found the book to be a terrific combination of time honored management principles and innovative new ideas! Clearly it would be a valuable resource for students of management and new managers, an enjoyable refresher to the seasoned manager and a guidebook to anyone trying to improve the performance of even the most successful of service organizations. I have seen the valuable results that can be achieved from applying the ideas and practices."-Bob Laurence, Chairman Emeritus The World Information Technology & Services Alliance (WITSA)
