Whether you're self-employed or working for someone else, these tips and hints will help you work and play better with colleagues, supervisors and co-workers. Kim Anderson and Scott Pemberton present clearly and concisely, alternating topics and points. Every idea is clearly defined, enunciated and summarized in an easy-to-understand manner. Topics include writing memos and e-mail, communicating efficiently, working toward group and individual goals, and teamwork. Tucked into the very end of this fact-filled audiobook are some tips for dealing with stress, technology and time management, which could be the topic of another presentation. This is better than a seminar--you can listen and learn at your own pace. M.B.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
