Harvard Business Review on Becoming a High-Performance Manager Paperback – February 26, 2002

If you are a young manager or are new to management, check out the section on "Saving Rookie Managers from Themselves." I caught myself doing some of the rookie mistakes that they outline in here. It's difficult to make the transition from being an individual performer into someone that leads/directs others performance and it is also easy to alienate yourself from subordinates in the process. I found it to be insightful.

A great collection of wisdom about a difficult topic, this book is a must for any people manager. I had over 4 pages of notes, which to me tells me how impactful this book can be in my own life. I absolutely loved the first few articles and they involved time management, effective habits, basic management ideas and the physical stress of being a high performance manager. There are some serious life changing ideas in these pages. I cannot recommend this book more highly and it should be read immediately for anyone interested in becoming a much better manager.

It is always a great pleasure reading from the Harvard Business Review Series.This book contains some valuable insights and practical ideas.Although the best contents could have been written in less than 100 pages, but that is not unusual for the writer to fill the pages with lots of common sense and every day details.

I am amazed that the seller of the book shipped within record time. Anytime, I will always look for the same seller and even refer my friends. The book was in the state that was described on the website. Thanks.

this book was not fantastic, really not what I expected, I would not waste your time reading this book, it is pointless.

This review is supposed to tell the potential reader what to expect from this book, based on the confession that I highly recommend reading this book.This book is NOT A RECIPE. If you look for a "recipe" as to how to become a high performance manager, I would recommend Stephen Covey's classic on the 7 habits of highly effective people.This book IS a perfect checklist to compare your behvior as a manager to the recommendations of people who have given the topic "high performance management" much professional thought. The art of excellent delegation and time management is broadly discussed. Multiple warnings are placed concerning the "busy manager" - one of the most dangerous symptoms in management.If you are one your way as a junior or senior manager, read this excellent checklist - the investment will pay off.

What else is there to say, this is great for business owners. Want to learn how to be a manager, that is how to do it.
