Summary: finally the truth!
Review: "The truth" is long overdue... I am a massage practitioner in Seattle and people having a massage tend to say what is on their minds. I often hear comments like "my manager didn't talk to me for a year" or "I think my manager is mad at me for something I did (when in fact she just spent an hour at the car repair shop). If only she would just tell me I did a good job".
Or comments like this -"My assistant doesn't seem to work hard enough and she is starting to make mistakes that effect my work. I don't think I am doing anything wrong".
Even if you are not in management, there is a lot to learn from Steve's hard work in "The truth..."
The book is an easy read, with many examples. It presents common sense answers to everyday problems and issues. Please read it so my clients can rest during their sessions rather than worry.

Summary: A Good Read!
Review: Stephen P. Robbins provides a broad overview of effective management principles. While many of these principles are familiar, Robbins writes in a compelling, authoritative style, and he uses behavioral research to bolster many of his suggestions, some of which go against common practice. Skeptical? Just look at his examples of companies that have used these methods successfully, and his comments from experts in the field. The chapters are organized into a series of short bites, presented as "truths" about different areas of management. This small easy-to-carry book is handy for reading in chunks while you wait or commute on the train. We recommend it as a handy summary of general management wisdom supported by the findings of behavioral research and nicely seasoned with occasional nuggets of information on effective, but less common, techniques.

Summary: Why is there "no stars"?
Review: This book offers absolutely NOTHING NEW about how best to deal with people. You can get much more from an article in Workforce magazine or even Fast Company. Hire the best people you can afford and then let them be who you hired them to be. If you want some good advice about dealing with employees, check out "Love 'Em or Lose 'Em," a classic.
