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 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.

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.

if you don't know who a mentor is , you hate your new position ,can't sleep at night ,or cry during the day.this book is for you.if your past this step try "The Rules of Work" by Richard Templar.

Yes this book was published a while ago. I found the information very helpful even for today. I am a First-Time supervisor and granted a lot of information is just common sence, a lot of it is helpful.

A must have for any new manager or supervisor. Provides great advise for almost any situation you may find yourself in. Read it through and keep handy for reference!
