Книги

Книга посвящена методам и технике успешного ведения борьбы за перехват и удержание управления, которой так богата жизнь каждого активного человека: будь то руководитель любого ранга, предприниматель, политик или школьный учитель. Книга не имеет аналогов и, без всякого сомнения, станет настольной для многих и многих людей. И дело не только в том, что она учит побеждать, но и в том, что помогает квалифицированно избегать борьбы там, где она не нужна и даже вредна для обеих сторон, что чаще всего и имеет место в нашей противоречивой жизни.
