This is a must-have book for all new managers, those who hope to be managers one day, and even managers who have been managing for years. The information provided in this short and easy-read book is even applicable to relationships outside of work - your spouse, children and friends.

The authors take you through a series of topics that make you appreciate why 'great' managers are great. These topics can be viewed as good ole common sense, but unfortunately one realizes how often we don't demonstrate common sense. The book is full of questions - situations that all managers encounter, along with several effective ways of handling each situation so that every wins - your company, your employess and you, the manager - good practical techniques that everyone can put to use.

This is not the kind of book to rest on your libary shelf. Read it and pass it on.

What a great book for new managers! So many people suddenly placed in a management position feel shot out of a cannon. They are completely unprepared for the new responsibilities that face them, the new dynamics they'll encounter in the workplace, and the stresses that can so easily result. Grossman and Parkinson give wonderful, useful advice that is wise and practical at the same time. I recommend this book highly!

This book is excellent for first time managers. It really help with the transition from worker to supervisor.

This is a good, easy read. The author does a nice job of explaining some concepts and terminololgy that is business specific. Those of us who do not have a business degree appreciate this.

This is a great book. I've learned alot as a first time manager. I've also loaned it out to a friend who was working on a "culture in the workplace" project. She loved it too. Whether you are new to management or have been in the seat for a while, you should read it.

Hope you enjoy it!
