This is indeed a very handy book & acts as a good reference to anyone whose job involves in management level either in a manager or supervisor position. Also, beneficial to those at a lower position who wish to learn & develop their management skills in preparation for future promotion & advancement.

Overall, I love the contents as it's clear & concise. The way the writer convey his points is very enlightening & friendly. Definitely the reader won't feel sleepy. I like that part esp dealing with difficult employees, time management & lots more.

In conclusion, whether you are a new manager searching for new skills or a veteran manager trying to refresh/brush up your old hat, there's something for everyone! It's a great book! Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!
