If the first half of the book is a Swiss-army toolkit, the second half is a mentorship. I suggest that both practitioners and clients would benefit from this work. So many of the failed engagements I have seen could have been mitigated, or avoided, if the participants could have availed themselves to the insights and structure Hodges provides in this well-crafted book."
