Review

"If you don't happen to have a personal genie sitting on your shoulder to get you out of management scrapes, this book is certainly the next best thing" - PQ Magazine, October 2006

"This manual for the workplace [is] indispensable in staying one step ahead of the management game."

- Sales and Marketing Management (January 2006)

“…a noble attempt to cut through this complexity and distil it down to some simple, memorable axioms… Could serve as a wake up reminder to a manager caught in the drama and complexity of a difficult managerial situations.”

- Management Today

"As a writer, he has a literary charisma that jumps off the pages and is sure to win round the hardest of rule breakers with its sheer hilarity. Whether your a manager yourself or have one, Templar's advice is relevant to all who work with people or deal with customers" - Accounting Technician

"I finished this book feeling uplifted, motivated and raring to go... if you don't have a personal genie sitting on your shoulder to get you out of management scrapes, this book is certainly the next best thing" PQ Magazine, October 2006

--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A slick list of rules for ruling at the office, 18 Jul 2006

By	Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

New or struggling managers will enjoy this practical, easy-to-read book of management tips, but experienced managers should take a look, too. Richard Templar writes in a "straight-from-the-cuff" style (no dry textbook terminology or dusty case studies here). He packs his manual with great, even if a bit obvious, lists of advice. We recommend this breezy, practical rulebook. To be a better manager, read it and ask yourself if you are still following the best practices. If you know what to do, are you doing it? If you don't know what to do, start reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even applicable outside the corporate domain, 1 May 2005

By	Paul Meehan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rules of Management: The Definitive Guide to Managerial Success (The Rules Series) (Paperback)

Outstanding.
This book defines a good manager as one who manages change, process, strategy, progress and balance - not people. People manage themselves. The broader concept of management extends beyond corporate environments - parents are managers for example.

My point is that while this book is written in the context of the corporate environment, there is enough wisdom in this book to make it a useful manual outside it's domain.

Highly reccomended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making the hardest job a little easier, 12 Jul 2005

By	"adiergeorge" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rules of Management: The Definitive Guide to Managerial Success (The Rules Series) (Paperback)

Management isn't easy. I certainly don't know anybody who cruises through the managerial day. One of the big problems is remembering the right thing to do at the right time. I found this book incredibly useful. It wasn't all rocket science - but then that's actually not what you need. I for one just sometimes need a reminder of what's important and what's not, what to concentrate on and what to let go. And for that, this book delivers - in spades.
