Summary: "Teaching by reality"
Review: "Managing From the Heart" allows the reader to see from a real life perspective and place themselves in Harry's shoes. This technique for teaching the management values really worked for me. Fortunatly I practice most of what the book teaches but was able to polish my skills. This is a must read for anyone, not just management. Our saying here at the office is, "You can't learn less". Reading, understanding and practicing the HEART principles would make any work or personal enviroment better and more easily managed. "A must read by all"

Summary: You've Gotta Have Heart!
Review: As a manager who has had to lay off employees during the recent economic downturn, I am glad I discovered this book. I applied the recommendations on dealing with employees and I feel it enabled both my staff and me to face the reality of business issues with mutual respect and understanding. I would recommend it to any level of manager.

Summary: Excellent metaphor for Coaching.
Review: I found this book to be a thought-provoking story which focuses one's attention on the people side of managing for excellence. While the ideas are not new, they are packaged in a way that gets the point across very effectively. Like ZAPP The Lightning of Empowerment, the authors use the story to make their points very effectively, bringing the reader to reflect on how their managing style impacts others.

Summary: Excellent! Best interpersonal management books I've read.
Review: This book was a very easy read. It will catch you up in the first chapter. It not only has to do with how you manage people in your work, but also manage your life and interact with people in general. It really forces you to reflect on your life.

Review: This book was outstanding and incredibly accurate in its attempt to make you look inside yourself at your own methods of managment. A very powerful message was felt while reading each seperate step, and when all were in place and utilized the overall message was even stronger.

Summary: Lessons for Your Heart and Head
Review: This book was really good. It was moving and it was right-on in my opinion. The real-life application through Harry's story made the principles more meaningful. I continue to learn daily how important these principles are. Truly being on your employee's side, listening to them, trusting them and helping them grow and achieve. You'll never go wrong. I re-read this book to help me remember these truths when times get tough. Also, the professional editorial Amazon includes for this book is a bunch of hogwash in my opinion. The guy who wrote it must have had a block of ice for a heart and just a regular old block for a head!
