Here, Mark McCormack reveals the secret of his success on key business issues such as analysing yourself and others, sales, negotiation, time management, decision-making, and communication. What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School fills the gaps between a business school education and the street knowledge that comes from the day-to-day experience of running a business and managing people. It shares the business skills, techniques, and wisdom gleaned from twenty-five years of experience.
