[.ca] Smart Moves For People In Charge: 130 Checklists To Help ... (ISBN 0201483289)

Very practical book for anyone in a position of leadership.:
I really like the book. As an executive director in a small not for profit agency, I sometimes find it difficult to apply some suggestions and recommendations from books to what I do. However, the authors present very practical lists of action steps. I have referred to the book many times, and have identified numerous ideas to put to use.

Never Read It:
Couldn't make it through the book. Mostly common sense. I just needed it for a class. Better books exist on the same subject. Get those instead of this marketing tool.

Must book for anyone living in a dynamic environment:
The guy who recommended this book said he wished he'd had it 20 years earlier in his career. I think he was right. This book is loaded with lists and list of things that you should think about in some situation. Someone has taken the time to itemize the things you should consider in dozens of different situations. Want to improve you customer realations. Take at look at that list and you'll find a lot of things that really make sense. These lists save you the time of trying to figure out what are the attributes if a given situation that you should be looking at. Great book for anyone. You won't use it every day but when you need it, one application of the list can repay you the price of the book many times over.

Most useful book on leadership and management you can get.:
I work for the wholesale club division of the largest retail chain in America. Needless to say, you don't get a top-notch training course in being a supervisor or hourly manager there. This book was instrumental in my personal development in becoming a good supervisor. The book is set up like a series of checklists. The advantage is that checklists are EASY to read and refer to. In fact virtually every situation you will face is covered by checklists. In fact I enjoyed the many Sam Walton trademark management styles they incorporated into the book...it made it easier to connect with. The book is simply outstanding and for the price you would be, quite frankly, a fool not to get it. As we all know employee morale is paramount in having them take better care of our customers and/or product/services development/production. This book helps to develop you (if you let it) into a better manager/supervisor. I would also recommend getting the book titled "Corps Business" by David Freedman (I have a review on this also). The two books should be purchased together and READ. You will get excited about developing yourself into a BETTER manager/supervisor as well as developing your company (both books provide great advice on how to do this). The small investment (we're talking under $40 tops here) will surely pay off (either in promotions or company bonuses!) Good luck!

A great "gift" for your supervisors and managers!:
Everyone can benefit from improved leadership skills, but it's sometimes difficult to take criticism constructively. This book provides managers with a lot of food for thought, broken down into managable lists. If your managers need a little help improving their leadership skills, buy them a copy of this book. I keep a copy of the book on my desk and re-read one list each day. When conducting Leadership Seminars, I have used some of the lists to initiate group discussions.
