Title: Gave this book away...but made some notes first
Product review: I read through this book in about an hour or so. I felt most of it would be very remedial for many managers. Since I am not a manager (and not going to be), much of this book's content did not pertain to me.However, two topics did stand out. The description of the four managerial types (Laid Back, Ready-Fire-Aim, Popular & Hard Nose) with 'handling' suggestions would be useful for anyone at any level. The topic of preparing for the 'miss' (missed sales goal, missed product deliverable, missed date, etc.) was very informative,too. Few of us ever prepare to fail and when it happens to us, we are unprepared to explain it.I decided NOT to keep this book as part of my permanent library, but I did give this book to someone who coachs people in job search for their personal lending library. It was worth the $8.75 I paid for it because I got free Amazon shipping, but not much more....
