Reviews for The 2R Manager: When to Relate, When to Require, and How to Do Both Effectively
"The professional services firm is the best possible laboratory forunderstanding the concepts of relating and requiring. Because suchfirms are filled with high-talent individuals, a tilt towards onestyle vs. the other would fail. Peter Friedes hit the perfectbalance at Hewitt Associates¾and this book provides a greatservice in conveying to others how that balance can (and must) beachieved in high performing organizations."
