“I am the COO of a large, 23 Physician surgical practice; operating 10 clinic locations in North Texas.  The Management Map series has proved invaluable to me and other managers to not only train and promote deserving employees into management, but also for our own personal growth.  I have over 30 years of Executive Management experience and have found that it is never easy to correctly identify the right person for the right job, particularly when elevating a staff level employee to a supervisor or manager position.  Ms. Avrin’s books have proven to be great tools for developing, coaching, and mentoring managers in our organization.  Through the adoption of her materials, we have decreased not only our employee attrition rate but also our employee failure rate – what I refer to as our ‘failure to thrive’ rate.  Using her books and adopting the principles detailed in each, we have reinforced many of the critical elements of becoming an effective manager and developing effective management teams.”  ~Deborah Lief, R.N. COO, Dallas/Fort Worth

“What an honor and privilege for me to lead a team of seasoned managers through a test drive of The Management Map II, utilizing the new Companion Workbook.  We met in two-hour sessions and each manager took a turn in facilitating the class.  This provided our management team with the opportunity to exchange ideas and grow as a team while learning from expert Deborah Avrin.  Accolades to Deborah for adding another winning book to her collection of management training ‘travel aids’.”   ~Judy C. Martin, SPHR, IRIS USA, Inc., Human Resource Manager

“Our managers, both seasoned and less experienced, enjoyed reading one chapter each week. We then used the Companion Workbook to help facilitate meaningful discussion and apply the knowledge. This book will help HR professionals to guide team supervisors through the process of building and maintaining strong teams.”

~ Amber James, SPHR, Regional HR Manager

“A practical, experience based approach to leading people. Deborah has provided a framework that managers of all experience levels can relate to and understand. Using these guides, managers develop the confidence to face unique challenges, or apply new perspective to every-day obstacles...important knowledge for all of us in management!”

~ Carol Glynn, SPHR, Operations Manager
