Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-30 00:00:00 Louis Vagnone A textbook on - becoming a perfectionist, - living one's life for the sake of other people solely and only them, - being rigid in one's thinking (proudly calling that 'a structured management approach' or something along the bullcrap line), - taking oneself too seriously, - feeling righteous, - having non-stop meetings/discussions/calls/etc., - blabbering all kinds of motivation and hygiene stories (2-factor, 3 needs, goal setting, reinforcement and other theories of all kinds of shapes and forms). Interesting read, if one wants to have some droll and pointless subjects to talk about. I'm adding an extra star for this and for the material being well-structured. And I do like to pull people's legs with all this fun-tastically pointless stuff.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-10-23 00:00:00 Greg Atkins For its target audience, it's a pretty good book. It's primarily aimed at providing an overview of management principles and related topics. It's an attractive book with lots of diagrams (with some of them being overly complex) and what are good explanations and details about the topics addressed. It should be noted that this book focuses on the techniques and processes, rather than actual practice or the ethics of said practices. It also could use a bit more proofreading as there are bad typos and a few formatting issues, as well as issues with different uses of definitions. Overall, an adequate introduction book geared for learners.
