Even if you are not a fan of auto racing, you will find enormously practical advice you can use right away to generate sustainable, profitable growth. Anyone in business today understands the need for new tools to handle the speed of change. Like a top-notch driver in a finely tuned race car, Dan Coughlin's The Management 500 gives your business the high-octane strategies you need to win the daily race for profit and growth.

I saw Dan in March at a speaking engagement in Novi, Michigan. After his presentation, I was sure I found the right person to write the foreword in my book, Navigating Through the Risks of Credit Card Processing. His presentation on customer service and creating value was great.

I wanted to see more of Dan's style so I bought The Management 500 and was very much impressed with the concept. If you have ever watched even part of a NASCAR race, you know how critical every second is in the pit stop. A race can be won or lost because of a pit stop. Just as a single action in a business can bring a success or failure.

By learning how racing teams prepare for a race and then applying that knowledge to how a business is run is brilliant. It emphasises the need for detailed planning and remembering that every cog in the organization needs to be the best it can be.

I encourage business owners and managers alike to read and apply the information Dan shares.

The Management 500 uses a simple and practical analogy of business and auto racing to help managers at all levels improve their business performance. Coughlin provides a solid foundation of how managers should prepare from a strategic perspective all the way through mental and physical preparation. The book is full of real-world racing examples and how their insights can better prepare managers to meet the many different challenges they face. As a business owner, this book gave me new skills and key questions and exercises to apply them. Highly recommended for managers at all levels to throw their business into 5th gear.

THIS BOOK IS VERY BASIC AND VERY REPETITIVE. THE SUBJECTS COVERED ARE NOTE DONE SO IN DEPT AND THE WRITER HAS NOT ORGANIZED HIS THOUGHTS, CHAPTERS, AND MATERIAL VERY WELL.
THIS BOOK IS A WASTE OF MONEY.
