I read this as required reading for work. It only took about an hour, so that was fine.
The ideas presented are mostly common sense, but apply to all of us. When things go to hell at work, and we get frustrated with our coworkers, or employees, or bosses, or lack of time or lack of control, I think this book gives you a chance to step back, revisit, go "duh" and reset.
However, it doesn't tell you how to deal with the issues. The author at one point claims he spends all day putting out fires and...more

If you're thinking this doesn't seem like my style, you're right. But I recently got promoted at work to be the direct manager of some people I was formerly on a team with. I'm excited about it, but also nervous about doing a good job of it. Although I've managed people before (in college activities for instance), this is the first time I've done it in the working world, and somehow it seems totally different. It was odd--I didn't feel nervous about it until it was publicly announced, even thoug...more

This book tells the story of Jeff – a manager who wishes to improve his professional career and seeks the aid of a mentor – Tony Pearce. The consequent 8 Monday morning mentoring sessions are retold in this book.
A very easy, enjoyable and educative read, full of management/leadership gems. Highly recommended.
Below are the key learnings – as excerpted from the book:

A short, easy. Read should only take a couple of hours of your time to complete. Rudimentary when taken at the micro level, but ads up to some very, very good advice when taken collectively. And most important, it's succinct. Sometimes it reads like juvenile fiction in its simplicity. Not simple prose vis-a-vis Ernest Hemingway, more like Patty Wolcott and her fabulous "The Marvelous Mud Washing Machine". But that simplicity did permit the concepts to be illustrated with impressive efficiency. I...more
Quick Read---took me one night and it taught me alot regarding proactive leadership...DEFINITELY read this if you feel like you could grow as a leader or just want some mojo. Will make you into a better manager if anything.
I picked up this book at a garage sales in my town.
Why did I pick it up? It was SMALL, just few pages. And I am curious. Why this book survive the many books in the owner's hand?
In a weekend, I read it. It was good and to the point. I liked it because the language was so concise and hard, typical of the business world, suggesting urgency to repent.
I need that kind of urgency and conciseness now to do my work.

My brother recommended this. I read it really fast and loved it. A good quote for me was to, "fail faster and more often. Failure is a prelude to success." I am always trying to do things perfectly and it frequently shuts me down. I love leadership books, in fact totally intrigued by them.
I had to read this for my business policy class and I really enjoyed it. If you want to be any kind of manager, or are currently a manager this is a really great resource. I found it really helpful to prepare for work even though I'm not currently a manager. It's a fast read, and a great book!
I really liked this book. It's a fast, easy read with good, basic examples and clear, to the point lessons that sounds very applicable. This is useful for all levels of management. Great as a reference, and would make a great outline for a leadership class.
Must read for all managers. Read in one standing (family was on travel and I woke up early, so I read it standing in the bathroom so I didn't wake up the rest of the family).
I've encouraged all managers that work for me to read this.

excellent take-away lessons to be learned for all sorts of types of leaders on different paths in life. read my boss' copy and thoroughly enjoyed applying the lessons from this book to both work and personal development.
I really wish business writers would quit trying to be novelists in secret. The information in this book is great, the plot and outline are frustrating because of the ridiculous narrative in which it is delivered.
I thought this book was concise and yet had valuable information. Read it for a training class but was an easier read than I originally thought. Has some good topics.
Super quick read. Not very deep nor very original...but some good, simplified nuggets and some ideas about facing common leadership/managerial issues at work.
Quick read. Ideas aren't the most innovative, but they'll be helpful to a lot of people who find themselves out of the learning zone and stuck in "management land".
Thin book but effective strategies to follow. It should be part of the core curriculum for any corporation trying to build a positive culture of leadership.
I read this looking while looking for books to read as a group at work. I think that all managers/supervisors should take the time to read this one.
A one-night read that teaches the importance of understanding what the 'main thing' is. Probably worth a spot on your book shelf.
A good, quick read about leading and managing. Definitely a few take-aways from this book. I will be passing it on.
A leadership/management fable, similar in style to FISH! Practical tips in leading your team.
A great book! A quick, easy read which would definitely help managers and their employees to communicate.
Pretty basic advice, and somewhat useful, but nothing particularly insightful.

Wonderful book. Lots of helpful hints in an easy to read format.
A bit too simple for me, but a light read and a good reminder of basics.
use this for managerial guidance.... soooo useful! Plus it's short. haha
I always wanted a simple primer on team mgmt. This is it.
Very practical, accessible. Short - worth the time.
Meh. No hard facts or data, just "advice".
Excellent themes that are easily actionable
If you manage people at work you MUST read this!
