An easy-to-read and easy-to-understand book on performance management for those who are new to the subject. This is a very nice book for those who do not have a formal education in the subject and who wish to work towards improving the performance of their team.

I highly recommend it for all managers!

Great condition, was expecting something with a few marks and more torn edges, but definitely a great buy; Shipping took a bit longer than expected, but still very pleased with purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shallow and boring!, April 10, 2011

I ordered 5 books including this one, and all of them are so very shallow, low level and boring.
Some of the chapters were actually copied in several books! Unbelivable.
I would probably recommend this series to school children interested in management - nothing more than that.
