Summary: Essential insight on effective leadership
Review: This slim paperback might be hard to notice on a shelf filled with large hardbound management texts, but once you read it, you will know that it truly stands out from the rest. Mr. Brown has distilled the wisdom of managers from hundreds of companies into thirteen simple precepts that anyone in a position of authority should immediately memorize and put into practice. Fans of "instant answer" management fad books should probably look elsewhere, because this author teaches that real leadership requires introspection, dedication, and hard work... in short, he speaks the truth.These are the 13 principles, stated more positively: 1. Accept personal accountability.
2. Develop your people.
3. Influence thinking, don't try to control results.
4. Avoid cliques and office politics.
5. Tailor your management style to the needs of your employees.
6. Keep an eye on the bottom line.
7. Concentrate on objectives instead of problems.
8. Be a boss, not a buddy.
9. Set standards.
10. Train your people.
11. Demand competence.
12. Recognize quality performance from all your employees.
13. Do not manipulate people. If you would like to know how to achieve these goals, AND YOU DO, then get this book as soon as possible. The royalties from your purchase will help Mr. Brown enjoy a much deserved retirement.
