review 1: I've worked in HR for many years and have coached supervisors & managers on how to motivate employees and how to be effective managers. "Shifting the Monkey" offers many examples of problem employees and what to do advice in simple terms/actions to take. It might be a tad too simplistic. My spouse and I had some fun using a few of the recommended actions on his team work issues. Can't say it all worked, but it was worth a try! And now, everytime he complains, I cry "There's a monkey on my back!"
review 2: I often find how-to books like this pretty repetitive and without much practical application. This book is a good exception- probably because it is written by an educator. The narrative is short, to the point, and has helpful examples. The subtitle reall... morey says it all. There are slackers everywhere. If you are in a position of leadership, at any level, within any organization, these principles apply. Worth a read. less
