Summary: 3,000 Employees Trained Using Mr. Greenberg's Systems
Review: I was first introduced to Mr. Greenberg's books by my son who actively participates in student government at his high school. Frankly I take issue with Mr. Greenberg's limitation as to whom this book will benefit, i.e. "students". Certainly both these books should be required study for every EVERY student because of the incredibly positive impact the information will have on them, both professionally and personally for the rest of their lives. But in addition I must add, as a business owner with over 3,000 employees and a management team of 50, I have found the principles espoused in Mr. Greenberg's books to be the most effective management training tools we have ever employed in our company. Not only has the skills of our management team significantly improved, but also we have seen an enormous positive impact on all of our employees at all job levels. We now require every new hire in every position within our company to read, outline in their own words and then discuss with their respective department head, the principles taught in these books. We then have them apply the goal-setting strategy to their own hopes and dreams, both business and personal and then meet with them monthly to discuss their progress. The entire culture of our company has changed with the result of a significant heightening of employee morale, a much happier working environment, upbeat positive attitudes, increased production and significantly less turn over. The final result? Increased sales, 98% customer satisfaction and a definite increase in bottom line profit. Thank you Scott Greenberg. I only wish that I had the benefit of your books 30 years ago when I first started building my business.

Summary: EXCELLENT SOURCE FOR LEARNING LEADERSHIP AND SETTING GOALS!
Review: Wow, what an inspiring book! I have been involved in student government and leadership training since junior high school. This book taught me more than I ever thought I could learn, about getting orginized, setting goals, overcoming obsticles, and acheiving goals now and in the future. The book starts right off by having you list your goals, then shows you simple but powerful ways to acheiving goals you could once only dream of. Being a high school junior, I have an unreal busy schedule, and could never seem to get all of my stuff done in and out of school. The author gave me the tools to overcome my biggest fear: Lack of time and being orginized! The things I learned in this book will make my life way easier, all the way through college. What a confidence builder! I have Mr. Greenberg's second book on order now ("Jump Start Volume 2"). I can't wait to read it!
