Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Developing Management skills
This is an outstanding text- I was utilizing it in a military course and liked it so much I bought it for myself. I have an MBA, snd saw this text as a real opportunity to review and sharpen my people skills.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A somewhat decent book
Covers all of the basic managerial skills one must learn to be an effective leader.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Ok for a text book, but there are better books out there
This was a required text for a MBA management class I was taking. While I enjoyed the class, the book itself was disappointing, and even the authors point out that many of the surveys and self-analysis tools are limited because the better tools are all proprietary. Most of the book is a re-hash of standard managment philosophy, with some statistical justification thrown in.
If you are looking to improve your management skills, I recommend going straight to the primary sources, which includes most of Stephen Covey's books, along with other management and self-improvement books like Emotional Intelligence, Execution, One-Minute Manager, etc. This book tries to cover the same ground, but ends up being far less informative or interesting then the popular management books it emulates.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Developing Management Skills
Was delivered promptly in mint condition and at the best price available!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great Product/Price
Great Product and Price. Good Shipping. Great book for aspiring managers. Looks at Management as a social science. Great concepts and processes built into the book to guide you on what you need to improve on.
