5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book for managers, January 17, 2000
This review is from: Winning Management: 6 Fail-Safe Strategies for Building High Performance Organizations (Hardcover)
Wolf Rinke's latest book is a great addition to his collection of well-received books and and personal improvement products. "Winning Management" clearly shows the reader what must be done to excel in management. This is a practical guide to success on the job and can be used easily by any supervisor at any level of an organization. My copy is well-used!

Having seen Dr. Rinke present his strategies for success as a seminar leader and author, and also having heard the outcomes of his plans of action, I know that he can positively and quickly affect your success at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific book that provides straight forward guidance., November 19, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Winning Management: 6 Fail-Safe Strategies for Building High Performance Organizations (Hardcover)
As a mid-level manager for one of the country's premier communication organizations (Motorola), I found Rinke's book invaluable. His approach to teaching and coaching blends with our culture beautifully. It leads you on a practical, common sense journey that can be implemented everyday and easily taught to your team members. "Winning Management" has now become a cornerstone of our philosophies...you can find it on the desk of most managers. Thank You, Wolf!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mission and Vision: Defining it and articulating it, August 18, 2000
By 
"icemann1960" (Beverly Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winning Management: 6 Fail-Safe Strategies for Building High Performance Organizations (Hardcover)
This book is a "must have" for all managers: young and old, mature and just beginning.

For new managers, the book contains essential guidelines for establishing a vision, communicating the mission, and securing buy-in of your team members. It will help the new manager communicate effectively and establish confidence with the team.

For the mature manager (read "aged" manager), this book augments your "home-grown" techniques with many new ideas. I found the book re-inforced my "home-grown" style and augmented it with new ideas.
