Wondering what people are saying:

“If I Ran This Place... is a must read for managers, directors and senior level executives regardless of the sector or industry in which they work. Communications expert Debbie Matters skillfully takes us through scenarios in which it is impossible to not recognize ourselves in the missteps of misinterpretation and miscommunication. She art­fully deconstructs these scenarios into relevant and easy to understand theory and bridges this to comprehensive practices that can be applied in one-on-one interactions or complex change management across large organizations. The result is a thorough and stepwise approach of how to build effective communication styles for self improvement and how to foster this in others. Of the many books in this genre that I’ve read, If I Ran This Place... is the jackpot!”
