Great for new managers, college students, & supervisors, too
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Thompson's new book is a winner. This should be on the shelves of anyone serious about practicing or teaching management principles and supervision. It is one of the most overlooked and underrated publications out. The book can be used in training seminars or mini-courses as a stand-alone text. It is great for discussion, too. It can also be used to supplement management principles and supervision tests, reinforcing concepts and practices discussed in the more formal works. I hope to use it as a supplemental text in teaching management principles again, soon. Thompson's book also shows experienced managers new tricks. It is easy to read, enjoyable, worthwhile, and reasonably priced, as well. 9+ Dr. Alan D. Kardoff
Great book for college students and senior managers alike
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Brad Lee Thompson's book is a winner. It is ideal for new managers and also reinforces concepts in most 330-400 level management textbooks. "The New Manager's Handbook" is one of the most overlooked and underrated readings in the fields of general management and supervision. I would use it for training new managers as well as a supplement for management principles texts. While the author has no support materials or end-of-chapter questions, the book is written in such a readable manner that users can overcome these minor shortcomings. This book sits prominently on my #1 shelf, along with those by Blanchard/Johnson, Peters/ Waterman, Bemis, Drucker, Barnard, Sayles et.al. Though more basic than some Drucker/Peters types, the book helps the reader learn management well. It is suitable for use in training seminars as well as college/university credit courses; the latter primarily as a supplement to the basic principles texts. Dr. Alan D. Kardoff
