What experienced business professionals say about
The People Manager’s Survival Guide
I love the writing style. It is easy to read, keeps your interest. I like the personal style. It feels like you’re having a conversation with someone. I think most managers don't feel they have time to read management books so the short sections format and “cookbook” style will work well with managers.
Dave Ness, CEO, Hardy Instruments
What I admire most about Jim's work is that he always offers practical, actionable advice culled from real world experience, grounded in management theory and presented in a concise, ready to use format. An indispensable primer for new supervisors and an excellent quick-reference tool for existing managers facing new challenges.
Joe Weinbrecht, HR training and organization development executive and management consultant. More than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry.
It is a good reference book of the daily challenges that managers face, with simple but effective ways to overcome and achieve.
Bill Kepner, VP, Technical Services, Indyme Retail Solutions
The book proved to be a great summary resource and guide. The references allow the reader to get more into a particular area if they are interested, but I appreciate the summary nature of the book. I found the reading to be easy and have plans to recommend this book to my executive group. I really enjoyed the summaries at the end of each chapter. The chapter on meetings was very useful and comprehensive.
Amy Spedale, COO, The Dini Group, designers of high-performance FPGA Boards
A very well written management guide! All the chapters are interesting, compelling, easy to understand and helpful. I learned a lot that I'll be using in my own management role at work. I liked a lot of the thoughts on new manager's most common mistakes in relating to the people they manage. The summaries at the end of all the chapters are brilliant too.

I could buy a book by Jack Welch or Peter Drucker, but I don't manage a billion dollar organization. I need practical information that fits my current management responsibility and this book did the job. H. Sands, COO
