Summary: Excellent Framework for Management Training
Review: This book is a great resource for employee development of managerial professionals. The layout is great for adult learners. The authors have taken time to incorporate skills development activities within each competency. For those qualified to do so, the framework is well suited to use with MBTI as well as the assessment that is available. Well suited and presented for all learning styles.

Summary: Becoming a Master Manager
Review: This book is a great way to learn about managerial roles and what it takes to be a manager in today's workforce. By starting the book with a general overview, then breaking it up into more specific roles, and then ending with a final overview, I think it helps give the reader an introduction to what they will be learning about, and then closer and review of material they have covered. I especially liked the way the text includes competencies. This enables the reader to apply what they are learning about to themselves. Instead of just reading and wondering what style of leadership applies to them, or what type of leader they are, they can actually see. However, I do not think that this is a good book for an introduction course. Unless, of course, it is supplemented with another text. This is because I do not think the authors go into enough detail about describing some aspects of management. A person with no management background, would not benefit solely from this book.Overall, it is a great book. It not only teaches you a lot about management, but a lot about yourself. I would reccomend it!

Summary: Becoming a Master Manager
Review: This book was a ok tool, we used it in our intro. to management class. I found it to be more of a book that if you needed to teach yourself it would be helpful. It was a book full of much information, and lots of details. But for a class i would be hestiate on buying it. It was hard to wiz through the chapters, i seemed to fumble through the many pages in each chapter!! But i do have to say that is a very good tool information wise. Before deciding on this book check out; Fundamentals of Management (3rd addition)by Stephen Robbins and David Decenzo. Thanks-

Summary: Becoming a Master Manager
Review: This is one book I believe all managers should read. Talking to several people in the business world, they don't see where they fit in as a manager. Many of them are too much of one thing or not enough of another. After taking a Competing Values Management Practices Survey, then reading this book, and taking the survey again, you can see on the "spider-web graph" where in the circle you fit it to these eight values that include the Mentor Role, Innovator Role, Broker Role, Producer Role, Director Role, Coordinator Role, Monitor Role, and Facilitator Role. This book is very easy to read, I'm a young college senior who doesn't like to read complcated textbooks. I'm spending the $50 to keep this book. It's one that I plan on referring back to at least once a year to see how my managment style has changed. This book, as it gets around, will become the next 7 Habits of Highly Successful People.
