5.0 out of 5 stars The Effective Corrections Manager: Correctional Supervision for the Future, January 6, 2009
This review is from: The Effective Corrections Manager: Correctional Supervision for the Future (Hardcover)
This was actually a pretty good textbook. It was easy to read and to comprehend. It had some good advice and suggestions on being a good manager. I would recommend it to anyone who's looking to promote to a managerial position, not just in corrections. It has good examples on what makes a good manager and what doesn't. There are many managers who need to get a clue about how they're coming across and that they don't need to be a jerk to get results.
