Negative Positive
Title: Lightweight, Little Content
Review: The book assumes that the individuals you manage are essentially come fully equipped to do the job. However, most new (whether entry-level or expereinced) employees are unfamiliar with the nature of the enteriprise, its customers, and its measures for success. A good manager is also a good mentor and trainer, who spends more than "a minute" getting employees to learn how to make the right decisions while also giving them constantly challanging roles they can succeed in. The books spends little time on these important aspects. I would have appreciated this rather than the tedious conversational narrative. On the positive side, the suggested methods of praising and critiquing employees are worth noting.
