Leadership is vastly overrated: a new, rational model for profitable productivity Why and how to make marketing the master-all others servants Mice at play, and how to get compliance when the cat's away Finding the magic "GE-Spot" for your particular business' greatest success with its customers Fairness be damned-to the winners the spoils (it's time to start paying for performance, not for showing up) Is a happy workplace a productive workplace? a serious look at the new, fun mandate-lies the management theorists sell Managing the sales process-the biggest instant improvement (more $ now!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Some People Will Probably Be Fired Because of This Book! 4 May 2008
By Benjamin Glass - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've been reading Dan Kennedy's stuff and attending his seminars for years but I have to say I was shocked at how blunt this book is. Kennedy won't make any friends among employees (and vendors) who don't understand that they are zebras (you'll have to read the book to see what that means) and that the sole reason that the person running the show (biz owner) has a business in the first place is to make a profit.

Kennedy has little time for whiners who complain that the minimum wage isn't high enough or that employers should learn how to "handle" persnickety employees so that the employee "feels good."

Rather, Dan's blunt point is that business owners take too much crap from employees and their crying and as a result, are being robbed blind by most of them.

When you start to read this book you'll probably say "well, this doesn't happen in my business" but as you go through the book, detailed example by detailed example, I can guarantee that you (biz owner) will see yourself and one or more of your employees/vendors somewhere.

The book is not all negative. In fact its filled with great ideas to get maximum productivity out of those who you choose to allow to work with you. It all starts, though, with remembering that the only reason that you should be running a business is to make a profit for yourself. Start there--otherwise go get a job and work for someone else.

With that as the premise, why in the world would you let your employees steal anything from you. He's not just talking about a case of Coke out of the bag room, or something obvious as money out of the drawer (though he does have examples in the book of that) but stealing your money by being unproductive (or worse--like actually trying to bury your business.

I recommend this book 100% for all business owners, but especially those small business owners. It comes with a CD which is a very good interview that Lee Milteer did of Dan Kennedy about Ruthless Management of People and Profits.

I do think that some folks will be fired after the boss reads this one.. but Dan has recommendations for them, too. Like: get more education,hang out with winners; understand that while there is no place like the United States for opportunity, the world owes you NOTHING.

This book confirms what I've thought for years and has allowed me to give myself permission to act on some of the things discussed in the book. I've owned my business for 15 years and wish I had read this book 15 years ago!! I highly recommend it, best $10 I've ever spent.
