Controversial...a sight more readable than most management textbooks. (The Times )
Owen has seen some rum things and most of them turn up in this book....the comments are spot on. (The Sunday Times )
Witty, scathing and genuinely funny....well worth the money. (Personnel Today )

Format: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!

Format: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).

Format: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!

If "stripping bare" means taking off the old coating or varnish, Jo Owen has succeeded in baring management to a delightfully ruthless degree. Read more

Excellent ideas, some radical. Read it and help the economy!
I like ideas in this book-and its layout. It is arranged as a simple A-Z which means that you can access ideas and digest them without having to read the whole lot in one. Read more

Must read
This is a sensational book. It has transformed my perception of management. So many titles come onto the market promising An Answer - but Owen's book simply poses some timely... Read more
