"I really like the structure of the book. Chapters are short. Chapter titles are accompanied by illuminating subtitles. Each chapter starts with a quote and finishes with a Chapter Summary. Each summary concludes with Learning Lessons to Avoid the Ratholes and Best Practices for Catching the Pot of Gold. There is much to like in the book … Kothari offers good advice and distinctive perspectives throughout his book. Take your time with the book. It will pay off for you."

- Tony Josevski, P. Eng., PMP

"Describes the subject clearly and succinctly. A deceptively simply book that takes the reader out of the clouds and plunks him/her down firmly on the ground … I appreciate the way you consistently nudge people to work together with others, and think ahead. This would be a great book to use as a textbook, in a course with multiple case studies.
- Dr. Michel Desjardins, Professor, Faculty of Religion & Culture Wilfrid Laurier University, Ontario Canada
