Negative Positive
Title: Good food for thought
Review: When you have no one reporting to you, your job is largely determined by your supervisor. However, when you are a manager, the people who work for you can either ensure your success or make it virtually impossible. This book gives you a lot to think about in terms of how to systematically identify, recruit, and retain the best performers- those people who will make you look best. While I don't agree with all the specifics, the areas discussed are vital to consider. The book is also well written.The only real downside to this book is that it assumed the employees' market of 1999-2000 would last forever. While that's not true, and companies may accidentally, in employer's markets, be able to get good employees, the best employees will flee to companies that treat them right when the market turns.
