2.0 out of 5 stars
Not impressed,
This review is from: First Time Supervisors Survival Guide (Paperback)
There is some good information in this book, however most is simply common sense. What I did not like about the book is that it is written in a negative tone that implies all workers are slackers. I'm sure there is something better out there and I will look for it.

This review is from: First Time Supervisors Survival Guide (Paperback)
This book was helpful for me to consider ways to address certain touchy topics. New to supervising, I did not want to give my employees an opening to exploit. No book will solve all problems, but this one did help me through some tough times.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: First Time Supervisors Survival Guide (Paperback)
Was looking for "something else" .. this is more of a script of what to say in sticky situations. Guess it's OK for first-time workers, but if you've been in office environments at all, most of this is just too idealistic and scripted.
Feels a little more like 1950 than 1990 and beyond.
