4.0 out of 5 stars Smart Managing for Smart Managers, December 8, 1999

By 

Barbara Hartman (Chattanooga, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Managing Smart: 325 high-performance tips every manager must know (Street Smart Series) (Hardcover)

Managing Smart is a book for new and experienced managers alike. It is well organized, has an excellent index, and a comprehensive list of references. It can be read from beginning to end, or can be picked up and used as a quick reference. I found the sections on time management and quality management especially helpful. And, although no one enjoys disciplining an employee, tip #159 offers some positive principles and behavioral approaches. I would recommend this book to anyone in a management position, be it in a large firm or small, from health care to manufacturing.

This review is from: Managing Smart: 325 high-performance tips every manager must know (Street Smart Series) (Hardcover)

In today's complex of managerial issues, Alan Spector clearly identifies the roadmap to success. While money might be a destination for some, for Spector, it's about Managaing Smart -- understanding your abilities and the ability to learn from others. Quite an amazing story from a man who has accomplished nearly everything!
