“Listen to Your Work. With a title like that, who wouldn’t be just a little intrigued to turn a few pages? I was, I did and I was glad. Collins Andrews has written an informative, easy to read, and occasionally provocative book. Young people just starting their work lives will learn what they are likely to encounter in business and some “tricks of the trade” that will help take them to the next level. Coaches and Mentors are likely to learn why their advice sometimes falls on deaf ears – or may even mislead the very ones they are trying to develop. Even academics like me can learn from Andrews’ book. The truths of Listen to Your Work are too often skirted or ignored in college classrooms and business seminars.”

“I’m one of the people in this book. Listen to Your Work is an honest, put-it-right-out-there, warts-and-all, from-the-heart dump from a very capable senior manager, who has walked the walk and deserves the respect of those of us who are still learning the lessons. Andrews can be proud of his business record. He is very much worth listening to. In later years some of his readers will remember lessons they heard from him first.“

“Your business life is the sum of your personal relationships; it really boils down to that. An individual’s role in the business world depends upon the quality of his or her personal relationships. The only extras are those factors that shape relationships: the requirements for employees, capital, management, vendors, and the right customers. Listen to Your Work gives new graduates—and mature graduates—the clear analysis of business relationship paths. Really, this is more than ‘a book’, it is a manual for continued analysis and application.”
