Reviews

This accessible book features a wealth of sections, a plethora of headings and regular digressions, both useful and interesting, into anecdote. The text reads well and presents sensible thoughts on the key issues facing managers in the future - and the approaches they should adopt to tackle them. The word 'manager' is equated to the word 'leader', but the lessons are equally applicable for the manager of a small team as for the head of a corporate giant. The title may make the book seem gimmicky but it isn't, except for the inclusion of some material at the pseudo-science end of stress management that will, for many, constitute a digression.
