highly recommended

Great book, highly recommend it!

Great book, easy to read and full of great materials for managers!
I liked the style of this book, the way it was written and how fast it gets to the point.

Great to Get Up & Go

An excellent book which covers off on many topics in the New Zealand First Line Management qualification.

An easy read and one which I will be doing every six months or so as a refresher.

When the boss needs a boost...

If you're feeling like work is a hopeless situation and no one can be having all of the problems your team is, all at once - this book is for you. Its a quick read that will leave you with a step by step approach for tackling the mountain of problems you can't seem to get your hands around.

If you aren't the leader, but think your boss might need a clue, it works exceptionally well for that too.

Good book for supervisors

I've been sharing this book with first line supervisors. It has some really good lessons for new supervisors, and old ones.

A concise book

This book is concise and easy to read. I thought this book was a to-the-point kind of a book. I liked the reference to the importance of reading and learning from other's mistakes and not reinventing the wheel. The concept of having the right people on the team could have been more insightful. Who is a right person and if and how they can be made right for the team is something I would have liked to see in this book since it so clearly focuses on leadership. Jim Collin's `Good to Great' covers this concept in a more comprehensive manner. It reminded me of what my former manager said to me the first day I joined work. He commented that the first rule of management is to take care of the people. The concept of reward and recognition and having to tailor it for the individual is the absolute truth and was hinted at well in the book.

Overall, I thought the book could have been a little more detailed. It also gives the impression that time management can be learned and implemented in a day as opposed to being an incremental iterative process that it is.
