The Handbook of Multisource Feedback (Jossey Bass Business and Management Series)

Rating:
Summary: One of the best of its kind
Review: If I could have just one recent book on my shelf to use as a reference for leadership development, organizational effectiveness, performance feedback and coaching, this would be the one. Each chapter is authoritatively written in clear, approachable language. Reflected in the chapters is a high level of professional and scientific discipline without a hint of academic arrogance. Unlike many edited books having different authors for each chapter, this book is well structured and integrated so as to be readable either from beginning-to-end (probably the best way) or each chapter standing alone. The chapter authors, each a recogonized expert, obviously paid attention to the others' writings. Each author provides a complementary piece of the puzzle while avoiding repetition. This handbook is an excellent example of how a compendium should be edited, and how a team of authors can blend their efforts on a complex subject.
