Reflections for Managers: a Collection of Wisdom & Inspiration from the World’s Best Managers by Bruce Hyland

Many readers aspiring to become managers or working in management might find the book by Bruce Hyland and Merle Yost useful and helpful. It can be read straight thru for enthusiastic managers with a need to feed their desire to effectively manage a department or team. I can see others who want to fortify a position in a work related scenario to browse this book. The topical layout fits.

I like the book for both purposes. Under the Heading the “Big Picture” there is a phrase I have experienced. “You won’t always win” is one I favor. I lost a person high on my list of people to hire to another agency. Although that candidate we lost learning curve was longer than the one we hired, we wanted that candidate. Along with the Big Picture as a major category, I think readers would like these:

The Day-to-Day
Image
Team Building
Sensitivity
Image
Technique
Leadership
Company Politics

Those headings and the brief text that follow them make this book an interesting read.
