Small enough to carry around, her book carries the weight of great thinkers and concepts that not only make sense intellectually, but have been proven to work. Marilyn's got it right. She clearly has her finger on the pulse of what you need to know today to manage yourself in a small business." - Marshall Goldsmith"Especially valuable during a time of global economic uncertainty that affects all leaders and businesses small and large, 7 Steps provides invaluable insights across a set of timely topics.
