Page 10 - Make Work Great

Acknowledgments

Of course, she did not work alone. I offer my sincerest thanks to the
rest of the McGraw-Hill group, including Gaya Vinay, Staci Shands,
Tania Loghmani, Craig Bolt, Karen Steib, and the many others I did
not even meet. I have only the faintest grasp of what is required to
bring a publication like this to market, and I am grateful for those
professionals who know so much more and implement what they
know so effectively.
Finally, I must acknowledge Jeanne Wood, our offi ce manager at
Group Harmonics and someone with whom I have had a long and
rewarding familial relationship as well. Her involvement in this book
has been the same as her involvement in our fi rm: to do whatever
needed doing and do it well. Perhaps more importantly, the many
hours I carved out of my days for writing and editing were available
to me only thanks to Jeanne’s tremendous competence in overseeing
other parts of our operation. If there were no Jeanne, there would be
no book.
As you can see, the trusted friends and colleagues listed here hold
many titles and play many roles. They do, however, have one thing
in common: each works as a positive example, a recognized benefi -

cial force, within his or her own sphere of influence. Consciously or
unconsciously, each is a culture builder in his or her own right. I’m
honored to be a member of their crystalline networks and to have
them in mine.
