"This straightforward book helps you meet a middle ground in communicating frankly, courteously and effectively." (Talk Business, January 2014)
"There is plenty of practical advice here and, as you'd expect in a book on this subject, the tone is concise and precise.... Widespread adoption of these practices would, in theory, mean an end to those long, unproductive meetings. Reason enough to recommend it." (Economia, December 2013)
"Talk Lean deserves to be the definitive text of its kind for years to come." (Elite Business, December 2013)
