Review:As a retired management professor, I would definitely call this reasonably-short book a thorough discussion of the issues faced by recently-promoted managers. As a reader, I would have liked to see some visual aids (i.e., charts, check-lists, etc.); and a few cartoons related to specific management situations would have improved the readability as well. As it stands, the book is thorough; but younger readers (i.e., Millennials) might find it a bit "dry." Read more

Review:This book's thesis is that happiness is the horse and not the cart: you start with happiness and then everything falls into place. Happiness is not the end result, but starting point!

And Neil cogently supports his theory with quotes from famous people, literature from authors like Rudyard Kipling, his personal experience, and some scientific studies. The book is very well written with cartoons, easy to understand napkin drawings and simple language without jargon.

To start from ... Read more

Review:I expected more from this book. The few examples for how one can lead without a title were helpful, but it left me wanting more. Not only in examples was it lacking but in material of how to go about it. I was also disappointed in the lack of spiritual content. I believe many examples could have been mined from scripture, but not even the most obvious ones were mentioned. Perhaps that was in an attempt to not be Biblical; I don't know. I understand when authors want to appeal to non-Christians t... Read more

Review:I have a passion for line management, mainly because during my career, I've had very few managers do it right. I'm not big on books about how to manage as I disagree mostly with their assertions. This book was suggested by my current manager, and what a gem. Finally, a book that echos the way I manage, but also presents ideas that work in practice, not theory. A short read packed with information. I would and have suggested this book to others!

Review:As the book explains, “People often use the term mindset to refer to a core belief about oneself. However, in our experience over three decades helping individuals and organizations, the biggest lever for change is not in self-belief but a fundamental change in the way one sees and regards one’s connections with and obligations to others.” This is the heart of the book.

The authors compare changing your mindset with changing your behavior, noting, “Countless books on personal improvement... Read more

Review:This book helps you to step back and realize that most people don't master anything quickly, which is what the modern world would have everyone believe. The theme of the book as I took it anyway is Practice (with a capital P). Practice, even when you feel that you're not getting better. You will have advances and setbacks and long periods on the plateau when you feel like its just "not working". Mastery takes a lifetime, and whatever it is you are attempting to master you must realize that you a... Read more
