Todd Raphael Editor-in-Chief ERE Media Riveting!nbsp; Yes, I called a leadership book riveting.nbsp; I couldn''t wait to finish one chapter so I could begin reading the next.nbsp; The book''s combination of pop culture references, personal stories, and thought providing insights to illustrate world class leadership principles makes it a must read for business professionals at all management levels. Eric Bloom President Manager Mechanics, LLC Nationally Syndicated Columnist and Author Organizational Psychology for Managers is an insightful book that reminds the business leader of basic principles of leading a successful organization in an engaging style. As a business owner for over 25 years, I am aware of these principles; however, I need reminding of how these principles work together and impact the energy and success of my company.nbsp;nbsp;Throughout the book, the author demonstrates these concepts into a clear perspectivenbsp; by citing examples within other companies which is always a helpful technique and is often eye opening .nbsp;These are situations thatnbsp; I may nbsp;not have thought about before.nbsp;This book holds the reader''s interest from start to finish.nbsp;nbsp;I look forward to his next book! Elizabeth Brown President Softeach, Inc. "Author Stephen Balzac has written a terrific book that gets into the realpolitik of organizational psychology - the underlying patterns of behavior that create the all important company culture. He doesn''t stop at the surface level, explaining things we already know like ''culture beats strategy'' - he gets into the deeper drivers and ties everything back to specific, actionable stories.nbsp;For example he describes different approaches to apparent "insubordination" by a manager; rather then judging them, he shows how each management response is interpreted, and how it then drives response. Balzac preaches real engagement with one''s own company and a mindful state of operation, especially by executives - who must remember that culture "just happens" unless and until they learn to recognize that their behaviors play a huge part in creating and cementing it. It covers the full spectrum of corporate life, from challenging bad decisions to hiring, training, motivating teams - and the secrets of keeping people engaged and learning - and/or avoiding actions which do the opposite. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to participate in creating and steering company culture." Sid Probstein Chief Technology Officer Attivionbsp;-nbsp;Active Intelligence I had the privilege of meeting Stephen Balzac at the 2011 International Computer Measurement Group (CMG) Conference.nbsp; He was one of our keynote speakers at the Conference that year.nbsp; His presentation was amazing.nbsp; It was the first presentation I had seen at our Conference in which the speaker not only gave a non-technical presentation that left the audience captivated and hungry for more, but he did it without using PowerPoint, or other visuals and simply with the strength of the story and his oratory skills.nbsp; As Director of CMG Publications I asked him to contribute some articles for our publications. He has been doing so now for two years and is one of our most popular authors.nbsp; I was thrilled to learn Steve was having a book, Organizational Psychology for Managers, published, and was honored when he asked me to read it and for my opinion.nbsp; Organizational Psychology for Managers is phenomenal.nbsp; Just as his talks at conferences are captivating to his audience, Steve''s book will captivate his readers.nbsp; In my opinion, this book should be required reading in MBA programs, military leadership courses, and needs to be on the bookshelf of every Fortune 1000 VP of Human Resources.nbsp; Steve Balzac is the 21st century''s Tom Peters.nbsp; Stephen R Guendert, PhD CMG Director of Publications nbsp;nbsp;
