Format:Paperback
I found this book refreshingly straightforward. Stuart Wyatt writes easily, with the conviction which only comes from experience. His jargon-free language ensures that these techniques are easy to follow and implement.
Management can be lonely sometimes, whether you are the CEO, SVP, a middle manager or section leader. Now it need be lonely no more. Use Wyatt's book as your best friend. it will focus your thought processes and energize your performance.
My recommendation would be to take advantage and get the most from his experience, with the minimum of cost and effort. I wish I had found advice like this when I was starting in business many years ago.

Format:Paperback
I found it very easy to read any one of the 40 laws quickly, because this book get's straight to the point, dealing with how to get things done through others. However, many of the laws pack a lot of useful detailed information into very few words, so I intend to keep this book near my desk, for reference. Rather like 'The One Minute Manager,' this book is short and sweet and clever and uesful, but I suspect that over the long term this book will help me very much more than any other management book I have yet read.

Format:Paperback
This is the most useful management book I have read because it goes straight to the point and helps me know how to manage different people in different situations. I have been unable to find that explained helpfully in any other book.
