Highly recommended - Rated
This book has all the answers in a practical and easy-to-read format. I would highly recommend this book to all managers, would-be managers, students in management or any other discipline which requires management. It has helped me manage myself through a non-management degree as it has valuable information on many aspects of self-management as well as that of others.
Best in the West - Rated
Reading most Western management books, it is easy to see why the West has been losing ground to the East over the last 25 years. You either get a business man boasting about their way, or you get an impractical academic with no real experience pushing a second rate theory.
This book, at last, is different. It made me take notice. It is highly practical: the stories used to illustrate the points made are clearly real world and make immediate sense to anyone who works in an organisation.
How to Manage is covers lots of practical skills in three areas: EQ (Emotional Quotient), IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and PQ (Political Quotient). IQ and EQ are made presented as a series of learnable skills. You do not have to be a genius to be a smart manager: you can learn the skills. PQ is the most interesting bit. I thought this would be all about how to advance your career. Instead, it is about how you make things happen when your responsibility is greater than your resources. That is a familiar challenge to most managers today, and How to Manage gave lots of ideas on how to deal with this challenge. Much of this section was new to me, but made sense when I thought about both Western and Japanese organisations I have worked for.
This is the first good management from the West which I have read.
