To describe this book as “worth consuming” with the exclamation mark is going too far, but it was better than ‘wishy-washy’.
This was the prescribed textbook for a uni course I am doing, I wouldn’t have read it otherwise. However it does provide a good, comprehensive overview of management – it’s history and the major theories and concepts that it is built upon. The book also has strategies and case studies which are useful enough.
Of course real learning about how to be a manager happens in the workplace and in life, not in a classroom, and I have certainly learned a lot more useful things about managing from my work experiences than I ever expect to gain from any book.
