The Troyanos Group is very proud to offer its friends a look inside Bob Herbold’s new book, What’s Holding You Back?
As a former executive vice president and COO of Microsoft, Herbold is uniquely qualified as an expert in leadership and management.

There may be people who will lose their job or need to be transferred elsewhere. Your boss may not be happy. Et cetera. A whole lot of managers, when faced with tough decisions, will crumble. They will decide to delay, further analyze, massively compromise, ignore the whole thing, or employ any other tactic to avoid dealing with the situation….”
