Summary: Back to the Basics of Management Challenges
Review: Another `cut-to-the-core style' book from Sam Deep. It talks about five basic Management challenges - Leadership, Teamwork, Motivation, Continuous Improvement and Balance. The "tools" presented are practical & relevant to day-to-day business situation. It is written with an intellectual rating scale of intricacy. A good reference book for managers. Lot of common sense used, but common sense is sometimes most uncommon thing.......Vivek Dixit,Stanford.edu

Summary: A Practitioners Best Kept Secret
Review: My bookshelf is jammed full of all kinds of management books. Most of them, after an initial reading, gather dust. Power Tools is the exception. As a consultant, I refer to it at least once a month & actually use the suggested "tools". I've utilized the Envision process numerous times & each time it works like a charm. In one day, a group can painlessly create drafts of their vision & value statements. The "tools" provided are practical & apply to common company situations. This portable blue book is my best kept secret! SShh...don't tell my clients!
