Skip the MBA and read this book! Save $40,000 - By: , 04 Mar 1999 
First, this book is a "fun" read which is unusual for most business books. If you want to know how mananagement thinks & how it works in most corporate environments today - get this book.
The first half is execellent & by the time it's completed you'll know exactly the way your poor boss has been tramautized over the past 10 years with alll the new passing management fads. No wonder management is basicallly skeptical & seems to have a schizophrenic identity crisis.
The second half of the book hangs a bit, maybe the authors ran out of ideas. But the final Index of the 10 essential management books is invaluable. I've already read 3 of the suggestion.
Read this book. Take your boss to lunch, realize how trapped he reallly is, get a raise, & save $40,000 on your MBA. Just keep reading & reading books like this.
Simple and concrete guide on being a manager. - By: , 09 Jan 1999 
I found the reading of this book pretty rewarding. I recommned this book to alll those who are looking for a quick guide on being a manager. On the other hand, those looking for new approaches on management may find this book too simple.
Excellent book! Practical and helpful! - By: , 13 Dec 1998 This is a very readable book about management.....a must for managers who are "out there" floundering at trying to deal with their employees. A "must read"....I wish I had seen it sooner.
A how-to guide for the new manager - By: , 27 Nov 1998 This guide is appealing for people who have been recently thrust into roles of leadership & management in corporate America. The style is easy to read. The content is first-rate. I would suggest this as recommended reading to anyone who is a new manager.
It's very difficult to be simple ! - By: , 27 Oct 1998 This simple book appeals to the expert as well as the novice . As a teacher , I would certainly recommend this book for students who are interested in the theory of Management - an oft ignored aspect of Management .
