Rating: Summary: A great primer on what you need to know Now to succeed. Review: This leadership book tells you what you need to know and does it with substance and style. It is broad enough to cover the many skills used by supervisors, yet it hones in precisely on Why you need to know these things, the implications of leadership, and its responsibilities. Bravo...
Rating: Summary: Lots of Bang for the Buck Review: We have enjoyed this excellent book and my company is using it for our new leadership development program for several reasons. It addresses the subjects our managers need to hear: communication, conflict resolution, problem solving, strategy, etc.. We need practical advice; this book delivers well. It also is easy to understand and implement. The step-by-step approach to each of the skills is one that is made to last and works well with our diverse supervisors, who are at many levels of expertise. They like it, so they will use it. Finally, the price is superb and doesn't involve a huge investment on our part when compared to the benefits we receive. Highly recommend this superb guide to management and leadership.
Rating: Summary: I am impressed Review: What a unique approach - explaining the skills and letting us learn them gradually as we read! I just purchased my copy and have found the book to be so helpful. It discusses the major categories of what we need to do to succeed as supervisors and then simply shows us "how" to do it. This book has been needed for a long time. Well done.
