Title: Warning: Your Boss May Be Using This Book!
Review: This is a must-read for anyone who is managed by someone else. I can't believe this is still popular and recommended as a guide for managing people. Its top-down philosophy (sort of a "manager knows best" approach) assumes that subordinates must be praised and punished based upon the manager's notion of what's right and wrong.In an environment where professionals with different skill-sets work in teams to accomplish common goals, this book is more dangerous than helpful. So read this to protect yourself from anyone who manages you this way. A much better alternative is "The 59-Second Employee" by Andre and Ward, if you need to know "how to stay one second ahead of your One-Minute manager".
