Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Stick with The 1 Minute Manager
The One Minute Manger was great but this title fell well short.
I was disappointed and will not add this book to my required reading
list for my direct reports.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Concise, pragmatic advice
Concise, pragmatic advice on management practices: goal setting, praise, reprimands. This book serves as a great reminder that you don't have to have a PhD, or read every tome on leadership and management to be successful - more often than not, little changes can make a significant impact. An easy read, and one worth revisiting every once in a while.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Good re-read. Always a good refresher course.
This book keeps management principles in its simplist form. I have given these books to many managers over the years to help them understand and learn the basic principles of management. A great read!!!!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - The orginal book changed my life
This book is about so much more than management. I applied the principles to all areas of my life years ago and what a difference it made.

I highly recommend this as a wonderful addition to your must read list. This book gave me easy ways to apply the concepts to my life.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Better than the first, but still little meat
I read this book in an MBA course taught by one author. Both are "executive coaches", meaning they counsel well-paid CEO's. Nice shtick if you can burrow in. They cannot be mentors since neither has real work experience and they aren't real academics. Lorber spends less than 1 day/wk at UCD, mostly lending his Organization Behavior aura.

The methods discussed are necessary, but hardly sufficient. A competent manager should walk the floor, pat people on the back, discuss short-term goals, and give regular performance reviews. However, managers must also be very competent, which usually requires rising through the ranks. They should do more than shuffle papers and put on a show, although that can work in large bureaucracies. Psychology tricks may work in the short time to get employees to shoulder more of the company's obligations and risks, but over the long-term employees wise up. Managers must provide proper incentives, both financial and for professional/career advancement, otherwise their best people walk.
