Worth a quick read - will hone your skills
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
You can read this one in about an hour, but you will probably want to read it twice. Excellent refresher or beginner for managers. I was surprised how a little self-reflection prompted by this book helped me hone my delegation skills. I have a colleague who keeps the 'quick reference' that comes with the book on hand at all times, and uses the steps to review his project list every week. The story is a bit simplistic, but it gets the point across.
A believable story about effective delegation

Some parables are great stories, but not "real world stories". This book made sense to me! Similar to the One Minute Manager books, but the two main characters are not "super hero types". Excellent summaries on key points, and an executive summary list at the end of the book. A fun, easy read that could help you become a more effective delegator.
Worth reading.

This is a very clever and entertaining story that teaches simple, important steps for more effective time, work, and life management. Delegation is difficult for many of us successful people, but Dr. Genett inspires us to stretch for the purposes of stress reduction and optimal performance.Highly recommend.
Powerful!

An easy read, but one that offers some significant take-aways! The concepts are so simple, but often overlooked in practice. Donna's tips can be applied not only in business, but also to raising children!
A great parable - highly recommend it!
