Top 10 Posts on Categories I received a review copy of Dawna Stone’s new book Winning Nice â€" how to succeed in business and life without waging war.

The more solid the actions and how they pertain to building the skills of a Cubicle Warrior, the more I will like the book. Winning Nice has some of the solid areas that need to be done: While most sections had good suggestions for how to put some of this into action, I was left short too many times with examples of successful people who had done the principle â€" but not how it was actually done.
