En MBA personal comparte con sus lectores los conceptos esenciales en todas las áreas de la gestión empresarial.

Con este libro el lector podrá aprender unos conocimientos que la mayoría de los profesionales emplean toda una vida en dominar. Los expertos opinan...«He conocido muy pocas personas como Kaufman que dominen completamente los secretos de la eficacia.»David Allen, autor de Organízate con eficacia «Después de leer este libro nadie podrá decirle que no es lo suficientemente listo, perspicaz o no está bien preparado para lograr un puesto de responsabilidad.
