"No matter where you stand on the corporate ladder, being a leader in today's business world is a tough, sometimes even isolating experience. Of course, there are many people you can turn to for advice. First, you'll certainly get an opinion from your closest co-workers. You may then turn to colleagues (inside or outside the company) for a second opinion. But there is another opinion - the third opinion - that most people never ask for, and it's the most important one of all." "In The Third Opinion, Saj-nicole Joni explains how everyone from CEOs and senior executives to department heads and managers can create a loyal and diverse inner circle of advisers, experts, and mentors - all eager to offer their unvarnished insight when you need it most."--BOOK JACKET.
