The examples of what not to do versus how to do it right were very helpful. The comprehensive details and examples given about other companies made the message and information even clearer. It s one thing to write about a topic, but to actually get your point across is another. The authors also put together a beginning to end process on EWC in one book that is easy to read and implement. --Lori L.
