Mostly buzzwords. Read to prepare for FSOT. The book features mild plagiarism of fairly egregious lack of sources. On p.182 The habit loop of "cue, habit, reward" is given no sources. The source may have been Habit by Charles Duhigg, a book infinitely better than this one. The glossary is the most valuable part of this book. The definitions for "politics" and "power" are questionable. Politics is defined as "The process of gaining and using power" (536). Power is defined as "the ability to influence others’ behavior" (536). Needless to say, political science has much more nuanced definitions of both politics and power. Some of those definitions are on varying places on the Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism.

I had to read this for my management class. Didn't love it as textbooks go.
It missed a lot of important information, in my opinion, and it is lacking in the areas of gender and LGBTQ+ topics in the diversity, equity, and inclusion section.
It also didn't cite the majority of the stuff we had to read about. Where did that information come from? Would love to see more sources.

Clear, and concise description of management theories, and principles. Very well written as far as a text book goes.
