For my role as a new manager, this book was very informative for me to guide my team.

Great perspective on how to manage situations by setting goals, praising and re-directing behaviors to have a more successful environment.

This was a very easy read. It’s was simple and to the point. Had great perspective and very useful tools and knowledge. I’m very exited! Thank you

I was desperate for a quick read that would double as meaningful advice as I entered my promotion into management. This book follows other works by the author which follow a similar theme of simplicity and clarity. The 3 easy-to-understand step structure helped me to find out the “why” behind good management, allowed for malleability, and encouraged me to adapt the skills I learned instantly into the workplace.

This book is an outstanding overview of how to work with the people you manage. It devotes it’s message to having a lighter but more effective touch by first stating clear objectives and then following up on them in one of two ways, either by utilizing effective praise or by utilizing effective redirection. I would highly recommend it both to new and seasoned managers and leaders alike.

I read the original book many years ago. I had forgotten the basic concepts over the years, but in a review of the older version recently I noticed that, in some way I practiced them in my leading even thought I forgot. It made a difference without my knowing and remembering. This version is very relevant to today's leader. If you believe in yourself and your team, give this a read and it may help you too.

Very easy read. Full of useful directions. Hope to be able to work with employees that are struggling.

My business partner asked that I read this as a way to see better practices of management with our team. It was super quick, simple, and fun. I think it will definitely help.

Why was it written as a conversation? It makes for painful reading, like a movie script. The messages are good, though. The summaries are what you want so skip to those.

Very easy read that is full of great wisdom. These should be common sense steps in leading people but sadly aren't.
