Summary: Forget Drucker and Deming
Review: Forget Drucker and Deming. Drs. Milgram and Spector along with Mr. Treger have provided a succinct summary of most of the important issues that managers at all levels deal with in both day to day operations and stategic thinking. The book is easy to understand and should be required reading for all entry level managers and professional athletes. If John Rocker could read and had read this book before he talked with Sports Illustrated, he would be a guest on Letterman and Nightline rather than the object of public scorn and ridicule. For the security of the future of America, Jesse Ventura should not read this book as it has the potential to make him extremely dangerous.

Summary: Smart Managing for Smart Managers
Review: Managing Smart is a book for new and experienced managers alike. It is well organized, has an excellent index, and a comprehensive list of references. It can be read from beginning to end, or can be picked up and used as a quick reference. I found the sections on time management and quality management especially helpful. And, although no one enjoys disciplining an employee, tip #159 offers some positive principles and behavioral approaches. I would recommend this book to anyone in a management position, be it in a large firm or small, from health care to manufacturing.
