Читать книгу The Essential HR. - Armstrong Sharon - Страница 3

Most people understand that writing a book takes a village! There are many folks behind the scenes who helped us, so there are some thank yous due.

Three major heroes were Anne Goodfriend, who skillfully and kindly edited our thoughts and words while remaining calm throughout; Susan Devereaux, who put the final manuscript together in her typical (and wonderful) professional way; and Joyce Oliner, who went above and beyond with some important critiques and suggestions. Another significant and special friend was Mike Strand, who contributed two important chapters without breaking a sweat.

More shout-outs go to: Kathy Albarado, Marilyn Allen, Richard Armstrong, Kimberly Barton, Patti Bicknell, Jann Bradley, Irene Cardon, Ann Casso, Madelyne D’Angelo,Angela Dabbs,Amy Dufrane, Laurie Friedman, Saunji Fyffe, Cornelia Gamlem, Diane Gold,Allyn Gutauskas, Lisa Haneberg, Bob Hoffman, Anne Hull, Natalie Loeb, Joanne Lozar Glenn, Taren McCombs, Cheryl Mirabella, Naomi Morales, Kerri Koss Morehart, Tom Morris, Julie Perez, Jane Pettit, Ane Powers, Michael Pye, Leah Rampy, Maggie Saponaro, Gail Hyland-Savage, Priscilla Vazquez, and Elaine Winfrey.

And finally, two special thanks to our literary agent, Marilyn Allen, for getting us started on this journey, and to our Career Press editor and formatter, Gina Talucci, for gently bringing the book to completion, thereby ending the journey.

To paraphrase the words of William Butler Yeats, “Think where man’s glory most begins and ends, and say our glory was we had such friends.”
