Review
"'It is not difficult to fall for Owen's patter... the comments are spot on.' The Sunday Times; 'Management Stripped Bare succeeds where so many management books fail. Jo Owen avoids the preaching and pseudo-science common to his genre... contains all that I wished I had known before presenting to CEOs.' John Tate"
TrainingZONE, June 02
‘takes the reader through the very material that they not only don’t teach you at business school but can’t teach you – common sense borne out of experience.’

At last: a management book with genuine wit,
By
This review is from: Management Stripped Bare: What They Don't Teach You at Business School (Paperback)
Management Stripped Bare succeeds where so many management books fail. Jo Owen avoids the preaching and pseudo-science common to his genre, providing instead a wonderfully engaging and humorous account of the business world. With the use of case studies, he separates the true from the merely seemingly true, providing useful tips gleaned from his own considerable experience. Management Stripped Bare contains all that I wished that I had known before presenting to CEOs!

A more honest and useful business book than I've ever seen,
By A Customer
This review is from: Management Stripped Bare: What They Don't Teach You at Business School (Paperback)
A very sharp look at how business really is, with no bubbles left unburst. Lots of accurate descriptions and some practical things to do. The section on diversity is sobering but on the mark - so why does every other business book treat this subject with sugar-coated platitudes? This is also a business book that is readable (merciful for those of us with short attention spans) and funny (honest).

Great Fun! An informed, entertaining & wry look at business,
By A Customer
This review is from: Management Stripped Bare: What They Don't Teach You at Business School (Paperback)
This is an amusing and highly informatve look at 'business as it is', not 'business as it appears in business books'. Owen clearly has a lot of experience across a wide range of different work environments and puts these to good use to provide a wealth of tips and advice - in an engaging and informative manner. I would love to see the reaction of an airline exec, flying first class to a 'vitally important' business meeting when he reads Owen's point of view on 'frequent flyers'. This is a book for dipping in & out of - I certainly didn't agree with all of it, but the humour and common sense on each page is highly persuasive - and makes a welcome change from the turgid prose of so many other books in a similar vein. Great fun!
