This is the best book that I have read on executive resource management. Mr. Barner has written and easy to use, practical guide on how to create strong, enduring leadership for any organization. I was particularly impressed with his ability to link the key business requirements to key leadership abilities. A must read for senior level leaders who have the responsibility of keeping their organizations competitive.

Cliff Hopkins (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Executive Resource Management: Building and Retaining an Exceptional Leadership Team (Hardcover)
This is one of the best business books I have read on the subject of higher level resouces and their management. R. Barner presents the material in an organized and thought provoking manner that can be related to any company looking to grow and improve. Graphics and tabular presentations are clear and concise and pull the detailed text together for a clear understanding of the strategies and processes being presented. The use of current industry leaders in examples adds to the validity of the book. Good work.
