5.0 out of 5 stars Liten Up, Leader - Review, April 4, 2000

By	Sonny Gann (Lewisville, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Listen Up, Leader! (Mass Market Paperback)

This short book is powerful. If you are in management, and take things personally, you may believe Mr. Cottrell is writing about you. Written from the perspective of "your" employees, he has compiled several managerial issues along with solutions. I recommend this book to ALL managers, Presidents, V.P.s, COO's, CEO's,CFO's, (the list goes on). If you have people working for you, read this book. If you want to be the best manager you can possibly be, APPLY this book as a management tool. If you have managers working for you, make sure you GIVE them Listen Up, Leader. IT'S THAT GOOD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, April 9, 2006

By	Business Reader "Daren" (Columbia, SC) - See all my reviews

I enjoy this author's work. He is to the point but has a point. This book is about real world leadership problems and what you can do about it. It is not a leadership strategy book but a guide on interpersonal relationships.

I enjoyed his Monday Morning Leadership even more. Both are excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good things come in small packages, January 26, 2005

By	P Pruett "jrkp" (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the most effective leadership book I have ever read. It is straightforward and real. It contains all of the information that leaders know, but don't want to hear. What is significant, is the title. It's not titled, "Listen Up, Manager." It's "Listen Up, Leader." Leaders must influence, engage, and enroll employees. Managers complete tasks and oversee. This book provides all of the employee thoughts and whispers that you may not hear. The content is invaluable and timeless. Everyone in leadership needs to read it. Ten times better than "Who Moved My Cheese?"
