review 1: I learned so much from this book. I have been an executive director of several non-profits in various parts of the mid - west for 14 years and I wish I had read this book 14 years ago. I can not wait to begin implementing some of the strategies in this book. This is a text book for a business management course I am taking in about a month. I hope to learn as much from this class as I did this book. The book is a bit long. Rather expensive. And sometime a bit repetative but a good book.
review 2: An early edition of this was assigned as a text in one of my Organizational Behavior courses when I was an MBA student. I found it both useful and engaging then, and have since used later editions in some of my own classes. The topics addressed are especially imp... moreortant for managers, and the chapters are well grounded in theory and research, but not so pedantic as to put off practitioner readers. Each chapter contains several useful self-assessment exercises to assess current state, then developmental exercises and other material that focus on developing competency in the tools and skills highlighted in the chapter. Finally, each chapter concludes with additional self-assessment exercises to assess progress. For its purpose, it is an outstanding book. less
