"This book covers the basics of management. It avoids the many fads that disappear after a brief period of popularity. There is a lot of repetition, but it's a good first book on the subject."
"As far as I can tell, lots of advice, but fails to give any insight as to why we should believe some of the practices described in the book works.
Here's some sugestions for the book: - Including some references to studies that prove the point - Include some references to well known real life scenarios of managers succeding or failing at applying those points
The constant jokes are not funny and derail you even further from believing the accuracy of the statements (no references to back it up + constantly joking => strange feeling of disbelief).
I'm finding the book to be a good sum up of alot of management practices, but again, fails in identifying where those practices were discovered (studies perhaps?) applied (real companies perhaps?) or learned (failures or sucess stories perhaps?) in real life.
