Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Boring - we've heard it all beforeYet another management book that takes what we already know, dresses it up and then sells it back to us. Nothing new, nothing original, nothing worth paying for. Give it a miss! Rating:  - Lead betterGreat stuff from Jo Owen. I've always tried to play the straight man with my guys. If they're bad, I will quite literally lead them round the office by their nose, over desks and chairs, for five minutes or so to show them what happens to muppets. However if they come up with the goods, they get tossed a sweetener - Burtons voucher, golf brolley etc. Jo Owen gives me something to add to my arsenal. We've now started on a more 'human relations' route in the team, with feedback sessions on 'how does that make you feel' and 'how to value yourself and your colleagues'. I might think it's a lot of old cobblers myself, but if it keeps the troops happy, I'm happy. Rating: - A cracking bookThis book is fantastic. A real eye-opener. It says obvious things when you read it, but you'd never think of it otherwise. A cracking read, and should be a must for anyone responsible for a team. Rating: - In My Top ThreeI've read enough management books to fill an MBA course, but this is head and shoulders above most of them, and is easily one to the top three I've managed to finish. If you're wondering how to motivate a team, how to stay positive and how to inspire you'll find common sense answers here. It will give you the confidence and understanding that while we can't all be Winston Churchill, Alex Ferguson or Billy Graham, we can still lead effectively and powerfully in our own way. There's not many books, never mind business books, that I finish and immeadiately want to start again, but this is one of them. It's easy to read, employs an enjoyable dry wit and knocks the galloping balderdash of so many American development gurus into a cocked hat. ... Read More: Rating: - Astonishing. Really.I've read just about every business book there is. I love them. This book, however, stands out as one that I would totally recommend to anyone in a management postion - or anyone who wants to be there. Practical advice abounds, as does humour. It's very honest about the challenges of work, of leading a team and the snippets of wisdom are priceless. Put it like this - I've been buying stuff on amazon for years and this is the first review i think I've written! I've just started a job leading a small team and this book is helping me cope with all the new challenges it brings. Buy it. |
