See how the major defense contractors and agencies in the USA keep their “Type A” leaders and managers productive without being domineering, and in-charge without burning out their employees. Mack has trained them all: Boeing Phantom Works, Lockheed Martin-Sikorsky and ADP (Skunk Works); Northrop Grumman (four divisions), General Dynamics, Booz Allen Hamilton, Raytheon, DARPA, FAA, NASA, all the US Military services, and many Allied nations as well (no endorsement alleged or implied). If you want to be listened-to and respected, if you are tired of being manipulated by toxic, abrasive bullies and idiots, if you are seeking a blueprint for living, even a personal mental and behavioral framework for a happier life, then Working With Porcupines is for you.
