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.

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!

I am the founder and owner of a rapidly growing construction company in a busy market. "Managing Smart..." gave me the insight and confidence that I was looking for to help deal with my employees, my contractors and my life!

Simply put, a must have. This book should be required for every MBA graduate in the country. It's insight into the actual decision making processes that managers must cope with prove to be on target. I've read the book twice and I think I'll do it again!

Managing Smart provides a thought provoking and insightful summary on a vast number of business topics. It is easy to use and allows the manager to quickly review topics one might have forgotten from business school or provide new ideas to better manage your business. I think the next step should be a calendar with one new business tip a day (they are only 40 away).

A simple clear and insightful book that goes to the heart of the critical information taught in business school and the academy of life. I have benefitted from hundreds of the clear messages put forth by the authors. While I have put it down, it is not forgotten as the business fundamentals discussed make this a daily resource in the management battlefield. I highly commend the team and look forward to their next publication. Hooray!

This book provides great insight into simple economic conceptsthat many managers and business leaders tend to overlook. From theCEO level down to beginning management, this quick and easy to use guide should be on the shelf of every manager's office. I know it's on mine!

Forget Drucker and Deming. Drs. Milgram and Spector along with Mr. Treger have provided a succinct summary of most of the important issues that managers at all levels deal with in both day to day operations and stategic thinking. The book is easy to understand and should be required reading for all entry level managers and professional athletes. If John Rocker could read and had read this book before he talked with Sports Illustrated, he would be a guest on Letterman and Nightline rather than the object of public scorn and ridicule. For the security of the future of America, Jesse Ventura should not read this book as it has the potential to make him extremely dangerous.
