Readable papers on broad topics in management,
By Lars Bergstrom "LarsBerg" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harvard Business Review on Managing People (Paperback)
Whether you're just entering people management or have been doing it for years, this book grabs a selection of readable papers on a variety of topics from compensation to handling 'poor performers' to more effective (but non-manipulative!) means of persuasion.Especially interesting were the two articles on the performance of individuals and the messages -- both explicit and implicit -- that managers give to their reports and how they affect performance. You should definitely give them a read if you think you have an average to poor performer that you're actively working with right now. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Shallow and boring!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Harvard Business Review on Managing People (Paperback)
I ordered 5 books including this one, and all of them are so very shallow, low level and boring.Some of the chapters were actually copied in several books! Unbelivable. I would probably recommend this series to school children interested in management - nothing more than that. 9 of 13 people found the following review helpful

Very disappointing.,
By D. Huang - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harvard Business Review on Managing People (Paperback)
I regularly read great articles from the subscription program of HBR and rely on its contents for great insight into today's business environment.Unfortunately, the HBR book series make a poor comparison. I have even wonder if HBR is recycling unused, or rejected submissions for these books. I bought Managing People, Brand managment and Marketing and stopped reading each after just two articles. They were just all a waste of time. |
