Anderson hones in on and stays focused on the reality of the workplace neglected or left as a vague assumption in most business books -- namely, a corporate workplace is a human community, and as such, human nature and behavior significantly affect it. This is obviously in contrast to business books' discussion of management mainly in terms of organization, methodology, or at times practically clinical remedies. Anderson considers both sides of the equation -- executives and managers as well as regular employees -- in her treatment of problematic working conditions and relationships adversely affecting productivity. Her treatments combine the comprehensions of an intuitive and highly experienced psychologist with a clear understanding of the dynamics of the workplace and the purposes of business.

Anderson offers valuable guidance for employees at any level. "The Path to Corporate Nirvana" can be used by any employee individually to help resolve difficulties he/she has in the workplace or by managers and executives to understand and deal productively with problems holding back their corporation.
