Summary: A Solid Effort!
Review: Charles E. Watson, Ph.D., describes a variety of problems that can occur at work and tells you how “smart people” deal with them effectively. By smart, he means “good,” his point being that good is smart. He organizes his management-oriented scenarios according to a series of themes that highlight the best policies to adopt, such as sticking to your principles, accurately weighing your options and seeking to do what’s right, not what’s popular. The book mixes behavioral tips with solutions to problems, emphasizing the need to be trustworthy and responsible and to follow the path of morality and integrity. Sometimes the book seems scattered, since the author distances the solutions from the dilemmas by dropping tips in between them, but the point and purpose survive this wrinkle. Since we at [web address]— like most of you — find it pretty easy to advocate goodness, truth and fair dealing, we liked Watson’s approach. Funny how doing the right thing turns out to be practical.

Summary: Excellent work .
Review: Many of us think that we are good at dealing with office dilemmas but when it actually happens to us we are at odds end and so I have immense praise for this work.
It will definitely make life better because we use these tricks and tips to navigate the difficult times when we come under pressure. Some of us may pretend that we dont give a damn but at the end of the day we do take the worry home.
Only the wise will handle it well in the different scenarios.

Summary: When Stupid People Get Book Deals.
Review: Wow. I never thought I'd get a chance to write a negative review of a book, because my ability to pick personal winners has served me so well in the past. However, I caught this hardcover on sale and now I know why it was so cheap: it's terrible.The format is basic: a dilemma, one or more tips, and a solution. Some of these dilemmas are so obvious that you wonder if the 'smart people' in the title is just a trap for large egos. The tips are likewise obvious and of little help, but the maddening solutions cement my opinion. There is nothing written about how the solution actually worked in reality, so the reader is left to wonder if the dopey tips or solutions were of any use or not. If I wrote this, I'd be embarassed. In fact, I'm embarassed about reading it, but since it's now part of the bathroom reading material (no more perfect venue than that), it makes for a good laugh or two.
