The Five Minute MBA is a must read for all employees to understand how their work links to the profitability of the organization and to ensure they have the skills necessary to succeed in the new economy.

The Five Minute MBA outlines the seven key building blocks that help everyone who works for an organization unleash their entrepreneurial talents so that they can take control of their job and make an impact. For example, one of the building blocks is to generate ideas and innovative solutions and over $25 billion was saved through programs like these last year.

This review is from: The Five Minute MBA (Mass Market Paperback)

This publication is short and sweet, but hits the nail right on the head.If Employees were brought up in this kind of work environment, an Organization would be unbeatable by their competitors. Getting Employees to think like an owner and teaching them the financial end of the business creates an atmosphere of caring about their organization and wanting to make contributions for success.This booklet needs to be read by every Manager in every type of Organization, then the contents made an everyday part of "running the business".
