Not your same old management book

Every now and then you read a book that makes you pause and say "I never thought of it that way." This is one of those books. Don't miss it.

Good management advice

Good book to give managers something positive to think about and consider when dealing with people. What a unique concept to empower people by encouraging and nurturing strengths! I loved this book. Good to learn and be entertained at the same time. I think I would have like to heard more about direct stories from the best managers but it was great information.

Highly recommend

Anyone in sales or sales management needs to read this book. You will be encouraged to bring it into your bosses office and beat it on the desk until he or she reads it.

And the next trend in management is...

This information is very well researched and clearly presented. Since most of these results were taken from a Gallup poll I recently took at my former company, I can vouch that a significant percentage of the questions are absurd, including one mentioned in this book. Do you have a best friend at work? And how that has anything to do with happiness on the job...

This audiobook explains you how to customize relationships with those who report to you. It's very practical info: everyone is unique and has specific talents that are greater in one than the other. I also appreciated the explanation of how so many managers end up being so pathetic -- especially if they are moved up because they're not very good in their current positions (or my favorites, they kiss butte or know the right people).

No one, by improving themselves dramatically, is trying to become a hero as claimed here...but I am glad Marcus spells out very clearly how it is impossible for a manager to get people to change (change is up to the employee). Props to Marcus for being one of the only authors I've actually enjoyed listening to on an audiobook. All well packaged and marketed with an attention-grabbing title.

Great Book !!

since 2001, i bought this book several times and gave some to all the people those need this book which i think is a great book to read, but you need to read the other two books [ Now Discover Your Strength and Go Put Your Strength to Work]because the Talent Themes and the Strength here are not fixed yet.
The Key of a Great Managers are the efective and intensif communication with their sub ordinates.
Effective because there are mostly talking about discovering sub ordinate Strength and find ways to channel it.
Intensif because they have a face to face meeting 1 hour every three month, not once a year during the performance appraisal.
This kind of communication create a very positif atmosfeer.
