Many managers never seek to refine their management style. Subconsciously, they feel that their "many years of experience" or innate intelligence has rightfully propelled them to their current position. For other managers, who constantly strive to improve their performance in the workplace, this book is for you.

At first glance, the topics covered may seem intuitive. Readers may initially shun chapters that underscore the importance of ethics, employee independence, and worker satisfaction, dismissing them as old hat and self-explanatory. Upon further inspection however, the unsuspecting reader will discover that the book's true power lies in its explicit detail of the benefits associated with these seemingly well-trodden concepts. The book does an exceptional job of weaving the topics back into a bigger picture of organizational success.

In order to help readers incorporate the book's seven essential changes into their own affairs, the authors include several memorable narratives in the latter chapters. Told from a very personable and realistic standpoint, readers should find these stories easy to understand and easy to relate to.
