Kindle Customer: I've been struggling in my management position over the past few years. I think I'm one who got promoted based on individual performance instead of any particular leadership skills.

Oh, how I wish I had read this book before I got into my current role. It would have helped me better deal with so many situations a lot better than I did.

Anyways, to make a long story short,I started implementing some of the suggestions as I was reading, and I've seen positive results. Some will take more time to implement, but I expect I'm fully expecting that I'll see benefits for me and my team over the next few weeks and months.

My thanks to the authors. I highly recommend this book.

F.M.: The book addresses the needs of new managers and it does a very good job at point out the most common mistakes new managers make and how to avoid them.

But it's useful to managers who change jobs, companies and cultures as well. Sometimes the shift is so big that it you feel like a newbie on the job; and this is a moment when this book helps, too.

SJ: This book is great for managers/leaders in any organization and I highly recommend it. Contrary to what one reviewer said - it is not outdated. Good advice is never outdated. I am an attorney who moved into HR two years ago and I could have written this book. It provides the same sage advice I've been giving managers and leaders for over 30 years - if followed, it will reduce legal action AND lead to more engaged and happy employees who are less likely to leave the organization. The managers/leaders will likely be happier and less stressed too. In my experience, I see far more bad and/or mediocre managers/leaders than truly good ones. This book can help change that - for the reader who is willing to learn and change behaviors. Good management and leadership is not an innate talent for the majority of people - it can and should be learned by EVERY manager/leader not just the new ones. Even those with innate talent and good emotional intelligence can learn something from this book.
