This review is from: Every Manager's Desk Reference (Paperback)
I agree with the reviewer who said he couldn't believe all this advice for such little money!
If you are, as I am, a new manager, this book will be invaluable to you! It is chock full of do's, don'ts, and guides for everything you could think of. Get this book. It is 1,331 pages of excellence!

Should be required reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Every Manager's Desk Reference (Paperback)
Companies should present new managers with a copy of this book upon hiring or promotion. So much useful material here from giving feedback to employees to reading financial statements. Mine is dog-eared already.

Very Useful,
By Dan McGregor (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Every Manager's Desk Reference (Paperback)
I think at the very least any manager would benefit from one chapter, and most likey benefit in some way from them all. It's like one big book made up of small books.
