 Written on December 4, 1999 Summary: Get off with a Great Start No doubt, this book clearly shows the way for a new supervisor on the job. It alerts the reader, in a progressive and learning manner, to the upcoming challenges and pitfalls that await a manager. The book does a super job in laying out a plan, particularly in the areas of subordinate relationships and office politics. Also recommend a follow-on book that my company uses for management training and has been successful with: The Leader's Guide: 15 Essential Skills. Written on October 1, 1999 Summary: Relevant to the real world I recently used this book as part of an Executive orientation. His enthusiastic comments reinforced the material in the book. It also gave us a structure with which to discuss the culture and politics of the organization. I will not give my name for some rather obvious reasons, but this should, in no way, compromise my recommendation. Written on August 25, 1999 Summary: A 'must read' for any leader entering a new organization I found Right from the Start an extremely well researched and comprehensive set of tools which will greatly benefit any senior executive entering a new organization. It is the only book I have read which so clearly outlines the management pitfalls awaiting any new leader in his first few weeks on the job. I find it hard to imagine how even the most talented and experienced manager could not benefit from such a practical and common sense approach to the challenging task of taking over the leadership reins of a new organization, regardless of its size. As a venture capitalist and LBO investor, I plan to give copies to anybody entering the executive suites of all the companies in which my money is invested. Written on August 22, 1999 Summary: outstanding! I read this book prior to assuming a new position in an organization that really needed fundamental change. This book gave me confidence and a practical strategy to accomplish real change. Written on August 19, 1999 Summary: Flawed Yet an Important Book Our firm provides outplacement and retained search services. We are providing this book for all our successful job candidates. The focus of this book is to help new manage successfully navigate the first six months of an assignment. It begins with the fuzzy beginnings, when job candidate and recruiter first talk with each other. The Tables beginning on pages 134 are quite useful. When two authors write a book together, a reader should have the right to expect a duet unless the authors explicitly state otherwise. The book suffers lack of coordination between the authors. Chapters 8,9,10 are written in a different voice and lack the practical, time- sensitive punch of the first half of the book. Indeed Chapters 8, 9, 10 don't appear to be written from the perspective of the reader of this book. It is more like a major cut-and-paste job from a Management 101 text, with superficial references to earlier chapters. The reality is that Chapters 8,9, and 10 could have been easily deleted from the entire book. Laurence J. Stybel Stybel Peabody Boston, MA |
