Management & Leadership
Review:I read several snippets from other books on procrastination and they all seemed to say that it's my fault that I procrastinate, which it is, but they did not really tell ways that l could fix the problem. The author has put a lot time into researching this subject and has compiled a very doable plan to alleviate procrastination. The best part is that he reiterates several times that this is a slow progress and to keep your eyes on the prize and to take baby steps. I've already picked the habit... Read more
Review:Blanchard and Bowles have done another bang-up job with Raving Fans. Like their other book, Gung Ho!, Raving Fans is easy to read and is a good resource for anyone concerned with their organization's customer service. However, in my opinion, it's not a "must buy". Read more
Review:Six Sigma is a program that improves the quality of your customer experience, reduce costs, and build better leaders. This is an essential book for anyone looking to do project management and process improvement. I wanted to learn more about lean sigma, and this book has been great so far! It mentions everything that you need. Read more
Review:This is the ultimate entrepreneurial bible, written by an entrepreneur, for entrepreneurs.
It is practical, realistic, straightforward and concise.
It is not a bleak and theoretic academic treatise, nor a patronizing self-help manual written "for dummies".
It is exactly what an innovative, disciplined, hard-working entrepreneur needs.
It is defiitely a must read. Read more
Review:For someone getting into these topics for the first time, the book will be interesting and readers might end up reading more detailed and better books to learn about the topics.
Having read several really good books, for me personally this one seemed really oversimplified and trying to put as many buzz words and topics in less text. So much, that I barely managed to make my self read it until the end. Read more
Review:Geert Hofstede is Emeritus Professor at Maastricht University in The Netherlands. He was Professor of Organizational Anthropology and International Management at the University of Limburg (which was later re-named Maastricht University). He is the founder and first director of the Institute for Research on Intercultural Cooperation (IRIC), where a lot of the research used in this book comes from. This paperback version was published 3 years after the hardcover and includes some updated reference... Read more
Review:I have read other books by this author and thought I would give this book a read. He gave me things to think about and how his ideas translate into my life and circumstances. I especially enjoyed reading about Dell and it's outsourcing. Read more
Review:We are people of purpose. I choose books worthy to be read after dinner. My family practices enlightening each other with, excellent reading material chosen to promote moral excellence. This has been given a place of honor, to help raise two boys and encourage them. GET IT!!!!! Read more
Review:Insightful. Readable. Easy to remember structure. Easy to teach others the change structure they offer. I've had health care operations senior managers reference it during change initiatives to make sure they covered all six sources. I'd recommend everyone drop the complicated and complex change management structures they use and adopt this. Read more
Review:I liked the information, it was an easy read, and it gave practical advice that could be implemented almost immediately. It goes right along side other system-building and productivity books.
I DIDN'T like in the kindle edition that every time the word "service" came up, it was broken up into two words ("ser vice"). And it was in there a lot. Read more
