5.0 out of 5 stars NOT JUST FOR MANAGERS, IT'S A HANDBOOK FOR ALL, December 24, 2002

By 

reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Successful Manager's Handbook (DK Essential Managers) (Hardcover)

They call it "Successful Manager's Handbook". That is correct. But one thing you should know about this beautifully structured text is that it benefits anyone who seeks knowledge from it. Thus, I would not advise you to wait until you become a 'successful manager' before paying attention to it.
Even if you are the most unsuccessful messenger around, the valuable productivity guidelines in this book would go a long way in defining and improving your status. If diligently applied, the principles of this book would enhance your overall potentials: be it official or domestic.
This book is a handbook for all. It is an asset for matured dealings.

This review is from: Successful Manager's Handbook (Essential Managers) (Hardcover)

If you need a definitive guide to management and a handy reference manual, this is absolutely a good way to spend your cash. I've often used this book to assist others in new management positions. It is well indexed and provides a strong visual system of organization that would prove valuable for new managers.
