MANAGEMENT BOOK SUMMARY The book I chose to read was “When I Say No‚ I Feel Guilty” by Manuel J. Smith. The first thing to stand out to me in this book was it seemed a little outdated. Even though the writing style and the examples appeared to be from a different era‚ I was still able to see how different points were relevant today and to me personally.
