The Manager's Handbook helps reveal the importance of joining the right strategy with excellent execution." -MICHAEL PORTER, Professor, Harvard Business School and author of Competitive Advantage "Business success is 1% insight and 99% implementation. Dodson puts the 99% in what will become the playbook for anyone serious about accomplishing anything." -WALTER ROBB, Former Co-CEO, Whole Foods Market "Dodson does not waste a single word.
