2.0 out of 5 stars Touchy, feely, nausea-inducing HRM at its best, 8 May 2004
By Jack Feeney-Author / Analyst (On a Space Orbit - SPACE) - See all my reviews
This book should be re-titled 'Chicken Soup for the soul for people working in Human Resouce Management'. It's Extreme touchy, feely management, the very worst of soft HRM and American sentimentality offering advice such as 'think of HRM as a sacred trust' and 'start a belly laugh gang'. Any organisation heeding this krud either has too much time on its hands or is a Circus. It's an indication of the absurdity management has reached in some parts of the world - Let's hope its not contagious!

3.0 out of 5 stars Very American, not really appropriate in Europe, 25 Aug 2004
By Big Corla (Mefein, Kerry, Ireland) - See all my reviews
Its a lot of the soft, touchy/feely American HRM philosophy where Employees are called Human Resources and are treated like four year old kids. None of it is really appropriate outside the USA - I quit reading half way through. Theres only so much of this you can take before throwing up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useless and even dangerous in the workplace, 31 Aug 2004
This book should not be available outside of the USA and I'm not sure it would be such a good read even in the US. Its full of waffle, jargon, buzzwords and the references to Human resources (people) are like references to dogs. People are percieved as legal minefields (not doubt the attorney input). Legal issues are important, but they should be secondary and people should be treated like....people, like human beings NOT resources and certainly not like dogs or chimps.

I have grave reservations about the practical implications of using this book in any environment where human beings are present - AVOID.
