I'm with you on the book thing. My sister is a manager, she rose, as so many do, because of other talents leadership was not one of them. To her credit, she recognized her deficiency and did what she could to correct it
. She went to leadership classes and attemped to apply them on my daughter and myself. My daughter is a natural and I suppose I am as well. We saw her clandestine attempts as manipulations, scams even and eventually so did her employees.
I find that oxytocin, copulins and androstadionone
tend to get me more atentive response from both sexes, being less effective with older men and younger women.
