Summary: A true treasure - common sense for any leader
Review: This book was sent to me, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much the content was both relevant and outlined the skills in small digestible portions. In the fast paced world of business, common sense sometimes gets pushed to the back burner. This book brings it right back to the front. I was amazed to find how much the issues covered are basically universal issues and concerns to any type of organization. The concepts were presented in such a manner that reader knows how to implement them easily and quickly.This book clearly exceeds the mark. It is an easy read, and makes an immediate impact.

Summary: Very Little Information
Review: This CD presented a few tips with very few details presented in a cutesy way that pads the small amount of information presented to span 1 1/2 CD's.
There are many better CD's/books to help you improve your management techniques.

Summary: A Short Story with Valuable Information
Review: This is a excellent book on leadership and mentoring. I read it in less than an hour- could not put in down. It is in the One Minute Manager, Fish, Who Moved My Cheese catagory but it has many, many more teaching points. Have fun taking the journey with Jeff.

Summary: READ THIS BOOK!
Review: This is a great book! Every Monday was a reminder of lessons that I know but tend to forget. Every manager,team leader, supervisor, and CEO should take an hour to read this book. I have not had the luxury of a mentor like Tony and these eight mentoring sessions will be remembered and re-read for a long time.

Summary: weLEAD Book Review from the Editor of leadingtoday.org
Review: This is a short but highly engaging book. It is written in a way that draws you into the subject. The book begins by explaining why it was written. The author begins by explaining in the prologue a story about an executive named Jeff Walters. Jeff's life was falling apart. He was in a slump in his career, personal relationships and health. He needed help and was at a crossroads, desperately needing direction. He rekindles a relationship with an old friend of his father's named Tony Pearce. Tony, being a respected and successful semi-retired business leader, offers to help but only on two conditions. The first condition is that the struggling executive must agree to meet with Tony every Monday morning for eight weeks of tutelage. The second condition is that the author must promise to teach others the experiences and lessons Tony teaches him. Monday Morning Leadership is the fulfillment of the second condition.
The eight chapters of the book are a synopsis of the Monday morning sessions with Tony. Jeff shows up with his spiral notebook ready to learn and grow. Each Monday morning session is educational and entertaining to read. There is no new ground covered here regarding known leadership principles, but the analogies used by Tony puts many in a new light. For example, in the third chapter (The Third Monday - Escape from Management Land) Jeff learns that many managers fall into a trap called management land. In this artificial world things are not always as they seem. Simple things become complex and games are played. People are rewarded not for performance but for saying the things managers want to hear. Jeff learns that he must "escape from management land and get in touch with your people". He also learns there are three types of employees or "stars" on every team and how to deal with them.
This is a book you will enjoy and it ends with a collection of quotations from Tony that are thought-provoking and helpful. You will be able to read it in one or two short sittings. Monday Morning Leadership deftly covers a number of important leadership principles in a refreshing way. If you want something different, easy to understand, and a pleasure to peruse, Monday Morning Leadership is a book for you.

Summary: Wow!
Review: This is the way books should be written. Short, easy to relate to, and teach things that you can actually use. Monday Morning Leadership is real world. I have faced every challenge faced by Jeff in the book. Unfortunately, I did not have a mentor like Tony to help me through the challenges. This book should be a must read for all managers regardless of who or what you are managing. It has also provided a good track for me to conduct my Monday Morning Meetings with my staff. I love this book!

Summary: Applicable to All Managers
Review: Was given this book to read from our company president. Boy, am I glad he did. I've read many Leadership/Management books in years past, and often they repeat themselves with best practices like, "People are your greatest assets" or "Communication is most important". While Monday Morning Leadership is not immune to dipping into these best practices, the book takes it a step further by telling a story of a mentor and mentee, and how implementing best practices had an impact on his organization. 8 lessons are provided and what stuck out for me was the key tips for managing Meeting time more effectively along with the root cause analysis of what really are important factors for departments/companies/employees. The book is a lunch-time read (95 pgs.) so it makes it easy for each lesson to digest throughout the days ahead.
