The creative thing he does is relates management to all areas such as sports, commercials, school, relationships and other areas one wouldn’t expect.

McCormack’s book really got me evaluating myself as a person and worker. The use of metaphors really affected me because it was really meaningful. As a college student, I felt this book has provided great advice about businesses and how I can be beneficial to the company I work for. But one of the biggest things to learn is to never wrestle with a pig!
