Chapters tailored to entrepreneurially spirited managers and salespersons explore how these practices may be applied to their day-to-day work environments to identify other parties' core issues and address them in a way that creates win–win results. Wisdom from entrepreneurial luminaries Robert Ezrapour, Milt Kamen, Dick Merians, Chauncey Rapp, Xiaoning Wang, Lloyd Weill, and Don Wilson appears throughout the text to further illuminate how entrepreneurial conversation can consistently achieve beneficial results for all parties involved.
