5.0 out of 5 stars Great for new managers!, April 17, 2002

By 

Jeff Keenan (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Manager's Survival Manual (Paperback)

Although the format is a little cheesy (with the lessons presented as dialog between managers), the content, structure and organization of the book is great for new managers. The examples are fairly realistic, and the breakdown of basic skills is appropriate for those new to supervising workers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "First Aid Kit" for the new manager, March 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Manager's Survival Manual (Paperback)

Helped the first time I opened the cover. Gave me a check list of items to consider, cut my response time to write the report and made it fairly painless. I could have thought it all out on my own, but I would have taken much longer to get to the same place. It sits in my drawer like a personal mentor, gives me a little directional steering to cover all the issues.
