This review is from: OOPS! 13 Management Practices That Waste Time & Money (and what to do instead) (Hardcover)
OOPS! really gets to the point about what needs to be done and how to do it. It is extremely helpful in pinpointing ways to be better managers. I enjoyed reading it and I have bought copies for friends that I know are in need of managerial advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars From his first book to this book--the power to change the way the world works, March 7, 2009

OOPS! 13 Management Practices That Waste Time & Money (and what to do instead)

I have read all of Aubrey's books and have the privilege of working with him. This book reflects the way he sees the possibilities for all of us in our working world. If we each can learn how to manage, using the ideas in this book, our workplaces could be much stronger. Each chapter challenges traditional and highly accepted American management practices that are in fact barriers to sustaining excellence in performance. Another Daniel's book that makes an important contribution to bringing out the best in people.
