Customer Reviews

New managers must read - Rated 5/5
I got this from my old manager who opened my eyes to a career! It was given as a secret santa! When I first opened it,I thought someone was taking the you know what but when I actually sat down and read it I was hooked. This is a must have book for someone who is new to the world of management. I found it very useful and easy to read. You can pick up the book and go to any rule there is no structure to how you should read it. It helped me through a tricky situation with a person on my team so keep it close to hand new managers!


Great to listen to in the car - Rated 5/5
Seeing as there are mostly reviews for the book here I thought I'd add one about the audiobook.

The CD lasts about an hour and is read in a jovial interesting manner that sounds very professionally read by Templer himself.

I've listened to the CD a few times now and it fits perfectly into my journey to+from work.

I have flicked through the paperback version from a colleague, and this abridged version seems to distill the information as you may do making notes.

For me the great thing about the audiobook is, inevitably I wouldn't remember half of the rules (at least!) having read the book, which is too cumbersome to read over periodically. however I find myself listening to the audiobook regularly to keep the rules (which as another reviewer has pointed out not really 'hard' rules).


A Checlist of being a successfull manager - Rated 5/5
This is a brilliant book! It was so good, I bought it for my entire management team and regularly quote the 'rules' from it. For people who like to work from a checklist of what's needed to be done, or summaries to implement without having to become an expert in evrything you do, this is the book for you. Not all the rules will apply to you but many will, and those that do can really be a 'lightbulb' moment. Fantastic!


If you dont know the rules can you break them... - Rated 4/5
It would be foolish to be a manager based on a set of rigid rule as every situation is different, however useful guidelines or boundaries would be a better description. Some of the rules are timely reminders like never bitching about your boss to others, picking your team like an orchestra (everyone needs to play an instrument other wise they might be surplus to requirements.) Really easy to read, perhaps pick up a few rules a day before you start work. Enjoyed the movie quotes that seem to start each rule too. Would recommend as a great intro to line management.


Another Rules of Management - Rated 4/5
The rules of management has been highly acclaimed as brilliant and a bible for all people in management. The book itself lays down guidlines from the writers and others experience about how you should act in management positions. The rules are for the most part very obvious and things that most people who are natural leaders will know anyway, still it is good as an occasional reminder to make you think through these things properly.

Many managers will neglect certain aspects of their job or perform them callously which can create difficulty and tension among staff. Particularly important in my opinion are the rules regarding respecting and trusting your staff, the amount of managers I have known who have not trusted staff to do the jobs they are given and thus run themselves into the ground with worry at their staff's perceived incompetence is enormous.

This book is certainly nothing groundbreaking and nothing that hasnt been done 100 times before however for a general reference and a reminder to yourself how to keep in control you cant go far wrong.
