Editorial Review: Product Description
"Business demands innovation. There is a constant need to feel around the fringes, to test the edges, but business schools, out of necessity, are condemned to teach the past.'-- Mark H. McCormack, from "What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School" published by Bantam Books. Mark McCormack is the founder of International Management Group, a multimillion-dollar, worldwide corporation that is a consultant to fifty Fortune 500 companies, a major producer of television programming and credited as the single most important influence in turning sports into big business. Listen to McCormack as he tells you how to -- read people -- create the right first impression -- take the leading edge -run and attend meetings -- the secrets of successful selling and moving up within the organization. McCormack shares his experience, technique and wisdom, his street smart insights and skills, in a practical, how-to manner. Business will never be the same!

Summary: Great Book for the Right Audience
Date: 2008-06-03 - 
Comment: The content within this book provides general information for someone new to the workplace or to someone that has owned their own company and not been exposed to the daily challenges within the workplace. I read this book 15 years ago and I still think of many of the lessons often. I do recommend it for the right audience. If you've been in business for much time, you will not find it helpful.

Summary: A Must Read For Anyone Going Into Business
Date: 2007-07-28 -
Comment: There are many books the shelves for the seasoned executive wanting to enhance his or her skills, but very few for the new executive crop.
Mark McCormack gives straightforward, no nonsense advise on the subtly of business that is not taught in ANY business school. The reader gets invaluable insights into the world of "the street smart executive" and how to immediately improve their people skills. While some of McCormack's "notes" may seem obvious to an experienced executive, the lessons are great examples of how interpersonal dealings can either make or break a business relationship. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to save the pain of trial by fire as they make their way through the corporate world. This is a must read for anyone wanting to be a "street smart executive".
Summary: The business book I recommend
Date: 2007-02-28 -
Comment: This book may seem over-simplified to the consumate business person, but it is filled with parables from an extremely successful gentleman. It was required reading when I was taking graduate courses. When people ask about setting up a new business, I recommend this book.

Summary: Stright forward advice
Date: 2006-02-15 - 
Comment: McCormack's advice is stright forward which makes the book a quick and easy read. I tought he did justice to the topic of negotiations, which can trouble the best in the business at times. Even tough this book was written long time ago; the advice is relevent and easy to grasp. This book helped me and it is one of those books which leaves some sort of an impact on the reader.

Summary: Very disappointed
Date: 2005-11-12 - 
Comment: Antidotal stories, personal opinions, and somewhat painful to listen too. It was a great premise, but the delivery isn't very good. I wish I had saved my money and not purchased this book
