Practice what you preach Book

The lessons of this book are simple. And they are things we already know. But they are important and worthy of repeating. “Treat your employees with respect. Expect excellence. Challenge employees. Keep work interesting. Turn down work that is boring or not in your area of expertise.” And so on. Written primarily for the manager of a professional services firm, it would be of some value to all managers. Unlike the typical management self-help book, this one is packed with hard data to back up its analysis. This is a strength that gives it credibility, but also a weakness that makes it tempting to skip many a page. That said, it was still worthy of a read.
