5.0 out of 5 stars Short to Read, Big on Wisdom, 6 Jun 2006

By	gym rat - See all my reviews

I really liked this book, but for the same reasons I liked it, some may hate it.

First of all, it's an easy read, and it gets its points across by telling a story. Other books, such as The Sixty-Second Motivator, have also used this format succesfully, but this style may not appeal to everyone. To me, it makes the book a lot less boring to read.

Secondly, the book is short. The vast majority of readers will easily be able to read this book in a day. It has bigger font, which I personally liked and thought it made it a joy to read. However here again, some may be turned off by that and consider it to be too "child-like."

Thirdly, the book takes solid mangagerial info and gives it to the reader handily in the form of three "secrets." I found the advice to be very practical and while some may consider it far too simple, it can help you a lot IF you actually apply the info- which I suspect most managers do not.

In conclusion, I recommend this short business classic to anyone looking for better ways to improve their managerial skills. I doubt most readers will be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful even in the home, 10 Nov 2003

By	DAVID-LEONARD WILLIS (Thessaloniki Greece) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Is there a short, easy-to-read management book that can be really useful to the businessman but also helpful for the housewife and in the conduct of family affairs? Is it possible to squeeze into 100 pages enough valuable information so that it serves a multiple audience and could even be a guide for raising children? This book is based on techniques occupying one minute. Concentrating on three core issues, the author first concentrates on goals. In the business world goals would probably be getting more bang for the buck or more widgets per shift or greater efficiency; in the home goal setting can start with children making the bed, keeping the bedroom tidy or clearing up afterwards. Goal setting is only successful if both parties buy into it - boss and employee or parent and child. Agreeing on objectives, expressing them concisely as bullet points, and setting a time frame may take more than a minute but they can be reviewed rapidly and without dispute. The other two core issues - praise or reprimand - follow naturally and each party knows in advance what it will be. There are no surprises.

You can easily read this book and map out your strategy in an evening. It is difficult to imagine that anyone could not find this book helpful in some part of their life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Is this Management practice or Child psychology?, 26 Aug 2004

By	Big Corla (Mefein, Kerry, Ireland) - See all my reviews

-
I read this in the hope of finding out something new about management practice but on reading, it appears to be more about child psychology than management. I can't imagine employees (or Human Resources as they're now called) responding positively to the content of this book - its all a bit condescending and patronising. Maybe it works in America but I can't see it working in practice in any European country.

I could see a lot of inexperienced or junior managers getting very excited at the over-simplistic conclusions and remedies. This is perhaps a little dangerous in the real world of work. I'd avoid this one!
