Title: A book that marginalizes the importance of working with other people
Review: There are a lot of great management books out there. This is not one of them.Managers who follow the guidelines in the book will be far removed from the goings on of the business. They'll be disconnected. They won't form true relationships with the people working for them.This book teaches a crippling minimalist approach to dealing with people. But dealing with people is the most important thing a manager does. It shouldn't be minimized or marginalized.To be fair, the book isn't all bad. It's just mostly bad. The few gems it has are very basic and covered in more much detail by other, better books.If you want something better, look at something along the lines of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Crucial Conversations, or Good to Great. These are all examples of good management books, IMO.
