Summary: Focus on personal management strengths
Date: 2007-05-10 - 
Comment: A novel approach to teaching management in the public and non-profit sectors. It follows the adage of "know thyself" in terms of getting work accomplished through others. Contains a number personal evaluations for application to the complex and difficult area of management. Nice addition to bringing to the classroom a practical approach to individual management preferences through personal discovery. Using this in an advanced human resource management class in a master's in public administration program. Less boring than a tradition textbook and useful for a practical approach to management and administration.

Summary: Frequently low on substance and supporting examples
Date: 2007-01-13 - 
Comment: The chapters are not of consistent strength or substance. And then too, I came across a number of instances where statements were made without any attempt to support them with specific examples. I cannot offer specifics instances of the aforementioned because I have already discarted the book.
This was required reading for a college course.
