Detailed description
Praise for Why Should the Boss Listen to You?

"Leaders must have trusted advisors. This book shows you how to be one and stay one."
--Harvey Mackay, author, New York Times #1 best-seller Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

"One of the most common complaints of managers and functional experts inside organizations is that their leaders don't listen to them and heed their advice enough. Jim Lukaszewski lays out with great clarity and practicality what anyone must know who wants to have more influence on a boss and more impact on organizational success."
--Dan Ciampa, author, Taking Advice: How Leaders Get Good Counsel and Use It Wisely

"As founder and CEO of the world's favorite florist, I have gotten advice from many thoughtful strategic advisors--none are more capable than Jim. This book provides the blueprint to become a Trusted Advisor."
--Jim McCann, founder and CEO, 1-800-FLOWERS.com

"I've worked side-by-side with Jim Lukaszewski. He brings enormous credibility to high-pressure situations. Clients listen to and trust him immediately. I've read every word of his book. If you want to add new value in your organization and be viewed as a trusted advisor, you should, too."
--Davis Young, author, Building Your Company's Good Name
