From the publisher website:

When 91–year–old legendary management guru Martin Levin decided to adopt a dog by the name of Angel, he thought he was in for an interesting experience, but not a challenging one. It didn't take long for him to learn that he was wrong. Very wrong. Following one of the guiding mantras of his life—never stop learning—Levin found that each day with his dog brought new insights. And as it turned out, his journey with Angel led him toward realizing the Four Golden Rules of Management:
·Rule 1: Trust and Leadership
·Rule 2: Communication
·Rule 3: Problem Solving and Decision Making
·Rule 4: Perseverance
In the end, Levin found that his Four Golden Rules of Management were so simple that even Angel understood them. Thus, if a manager can develop trust, it will lead to corporate excellence, provided he or she is able to communicate effectively, make the right strategic decisions, and, above all, persevere. Levin’s book is one to entertain, inspire, and educate business executives (and dog lovers).
