Customer Reviews
Disappointing
This book just describes situations that come up at work but not how to manage people
Not what managers need
This book is ok for learning how to deal with others, but if you are a mgr. looking for help in working with subordinates, this is not the best.
A quick read witha lot of information.
This book is a very quick read and is set up exactly as the title says. It's 201, numbered paragraphs, each with a little insight into how to deal with "those people." The sections are informative and helpful. I would definitely recommend reading this book before trying to get transferred away from the difficult person in your life.
