Praise for The Plugged–In Manager
"The Plugged–In Manager is required reading for every modern leader. Griffith shows that the best managers don′t become fixated on, or freaked out by, the onslaught of new technologies.

Sutton, professor, Stanford University; and bestselling author, Good Boss, Bad Boss
"You won′t enchant people with a new product or service if it doesn′t mix well with your employees. Read The Plugged–In Manager and make yourself more enchanting, more powerful, and more ′with it.′"—Guy Kawasaki, bestselling author, Enchantment; and former chief evangelist, Apple
"Want to help your organization kick ass in the marketplace? Read this book. It will prepare you to manage for this century, when most management books prepare you to lead in the last one."—Nilofer Merchant, behavioral strategist; and author, The New How
"Required reading—accessible, clear, authoritative, and practical."—Barry Z. Posner, coauthor, The Leadership Challenge andThe Truth About Leadership; and professor of leadership,Santa Clara University
