Orientation

Probably everyone at one time or another has wanted to help someone else improve at what he or she was doing. Parents watching their children grow, teachers working with students, supervisors and managers on the job, friends supporting each other in a common endeavor, and countless other examples show our basic human desire to contribute. This book (and my life) is directed at the questions, “How do I do that?” and “How do I contribute to someone’s competence in a respectful, dignified, and effective way?” If you find yourself asking these or similar questions, then this book definitely has something to say to you.
