Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Most Useful Management Book Around

Rating: - Great starting point!
This is an excellent book in managerial basics. We provide this text for all our new supervisors/managers as a resource!

Also recommend a companion book for this, which focuses on leadership and management as an ensemble: "The Leader's Guide: 15 Essential Skills."
