What real managers need to know about life in the real world,
By
This review is from: Inspirational Manager: How to Build Relationships That Deliver Results (Paperback)
I wish I'd had this book when I first became a manager - I suspect that some of the people who worked for me wish I had as well. The title "inspirational" might sound a bit over the top but basically it's about being the sort of manager who gets the best out of his or her team. This is only management book I've read that seems to be based on the experiences of real managers - there are photos of them in the back of the book so they must be real people - and it shows, the stories sound real, not the usual two-dimensional stuff that passes for case studies in most books. The book is packed with useful ideas that have worked for other people in jobs just as difficult as yours or mine so they have to be worth a crack. One of its best features is the "action plan" at the end of each chapter that set you a list of tasks to achieve today, by the end of next week, next month and so on - they really help make the connection between what the book says and what you need to do yourself. This is one of the few management books that lives up to its marketing spiel.

Give it to all your managers on Day 1,
This review is from: Inspirational Manager: How to Build Relationships That Deliver Results (Paperback)
Amazon recommended this book to me because I'd bought the authors earlier book "Becoming an Employer of Choice". Based on my experience with that book I snapped this up. I'm pleased I did.
Our company has just bought a couple of dozen copies (helped by the fact that the price on amazon is very reasonable) so that we can share them around the office and also include one in every induction pack for newly promoted managers - it is fantastic. Those who've read it tell me that they really enjoyed it - particularly as the stories rang true and they felt they could identify with the managers mentioned in the book. That, to me is one of the strengths of the book - unlike a lot of management skills books you get the feeling that this is based on how life is in the real world. The action plans are also superb - we are shamelessly pinching them in our revamped "first 100 days" induction process for new managers.

Shame There Aren't 10 Stars,

This review is from: Inspirational Manager: How to Build Relationships That Deliver Results (Paperback)
I loved this book. It deals with the heart of management in a truly inspirational way, based on the successes of real people rather than dwelling on theory. The author has a lovely chatty style making it an easy read. Don't misunderstand me, the messages are both insightful and profound; they are just presented so that they are simple to understand. Each chapter ends with some specific actions, making it pragmatic as well as thought provoking. I have a copy on my desk which I know will become bruised and battered through constant use in the coming years.
