Praise for The Bullish Thinking Guide for Managers "Many of us in the financial services industry have, regrettably, known an advisor or executive who we should have helped but through our ignorance or inaction needlessly suffered. Our industry needs guidance on how to identify those in trouble, and in The Bullish Thinking Guide for Managers, we now have it. Please use this book to help those in need with whom we work every day."--Christopher L. Davis, President, The Money Management Institute "Bullish Thinking is a tool that all branch managers must have in their arsenal.

It helps the manager on a personal level and shows him or her how to help their advisors who may be in crisis."--Keith Gregg, President and co-CEO, First Allied Securities "Dr. Cass's Bullish Thinking coaching, seminars, and private sessions have helped countless managers deal with personal challenges on the job, and the challenges their advisors face.
