Hugely disappointing October 28, 2006

This book begins by attempting to make a virtue out of being short and to that extent it mercifully succeeds.
I can't imagine that this can be of any serious assistance to someone looking to make an impact in a new job. It is poorly written both grammatically and structurally. The content is fragmented and reads as though its been thrown together. There is no continuity of theme and the author treats the subject very superficially and with little evidence of research or serious purpose.
There is abundant confusion about the level at which the advice is pitched and it attempts to advise managers, associates and junior staff simultaneously. It even has a couple of pages of a mock 'hard' conversation with an employee having hygiene problems.
One of the strongest messages to come across is the overwhelming need to plan. Its a pity the author didn't follow his own advice. Frankly dreadful when compared to more thoughtful and in depth offerings on this topic.

got this book for my wife who had it recommended to her by someone at work. i picked it up last night and read it through (it's v. short). in a word - hysterical, i laughed out loud more than once - think 'greed is good', big shoulder pads and soulessness. full of contradictions eg. emphasis on how important 'team' play is and yet full of backstabbing advice on how to rise to the top, crushing your fellow 'team' members as you rise. if anyone acted like this guy recommends at my work he/she would be laughed out of the building. as i said, hilarious.
Dismal - one to avoid January 23, 2006

If you approach this book as a spoof, you might at least get a laugh out of it. If you are approaching it with any sort of serious intent I'd advise you to save your money for something more useful, perhaps a chocolate teapot. Having bought and read this ill-informed and badly written nonsense I'm now prompted to check Amazon's refund policy. If there's a trade descriptions clause I might try it since this drivel barely passes as a book.
