"I feel that your book, Supervisor's Training Guide, will be enormously effective for supervisors and managers who are striving to get 'back to the basics' in the labor-management relationship." Mildred Ramsey, author of The Super Supervisor.
"Joyce Karnes has been successfully working with our supervisors for 12 years. Individuals who were not going to make it as supervisors were turned around and have become successful.
