Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Harnessing the power of connected customers and networked employees is now the key to success and that's what this book is all about." (Bookviews.com, April 2008)

JUNE 2009 - AudioFile

The human tendency is to imitate what already exists, hold onto familiar assumptions, and work for tangible, immediate results. In the age of social networks and viral opinions, businesses would do better to put their energies into what is harder to see and measure—earning customer trust and embracing management practices that increase employee engagement, creativity, and loyalty. The two business consultants flesh out the details of this sea change with strong thinking and vivid examples from many realms. Peppers and Rogers make the topic inviting with their colloquial language and perfect tone. Their reading keeps the atmosphere casual and authentic without diminishing the urgency of their message.
