On-screen text
Have you ever noticed
that you don't really hear a lot
of leaders talking shit about other people
Or they always seem to remember
one little small detail about you
Like when a CEO or general manager
can walk around and know everybody
and their first born child by name
they probably read this book
how to Win Friends and
Influence People by Dale
Carnegie
I feel like, I don't know a
single leader who hasn't
read this book
It's super straightforward
really easy to read
and an absolute classic
