Little to basic, not organized teh way I would have liked.

This book is basically a primer on how to talk and act like Don Draper, if Don Draper was a middle manager. I don't think I really learned anything useful from it.

Looked to this book when I was promoted. This book provided plenty beginner tips that you can apply both as a first-time manager and also in parenting. Definitely bringing this with me through the years.

Perhaps a little simplistic, though not completely without use.
