Being a collection of articles, there's not a "story" like in a traditional books。 Some of the articles were very interesting, others were not applicable to my situation。 But overall, it was interesting and recommended for managers。 Being a collection of articles, there's not a "story" like in a traditional books。 Some of the articles were very interesting, others were not applicable to my situation。 But overall, it was interesting and recommended for managers。 。。。more

It was okay - one of the articles resonated with me to the point I wanted to find the digital copy and find email it to Human Resources and an old Manager, but that's probably a story for another time。 Some of the articles didn't apply (but that's a me thing) and I didn't quite find them helpful。 One or two were REALLY outdated, even for a 2011 book and honestly it feels like the book needs to be updated because of it, but it is what it is。 It was okay - one of the articles resonated with me to the point I wanted to find the digital copy and find email it to Human Resources and an old Manager, but that's probably a story for another time。 Some of the articles didn't apply (but that's a me thing) and I didn't quite find them helpful。 One or two were REALLY outdated, even for a 2011 book and honestly it feels like the book needs to be updated because of it, but it is what it is。 。。。more

Un libro muy práctico。 Consta de una serie de artículos sobre distintos retos a los que nos enfrentamos aquellos que trabajamos en la supervisión y al desarrollo de nuevos líderes。 Personalmente me ayudó a establecer planes de acción con mi equipo de trabajo y a su vez planes de desarrollo para mis líderes actuales。

Marlene

I knew that is different leadership types but once you recognize in which one you are, is a lot better in order to get along with everyone。 You not only learn about you, but also how to bring your team to the north that you want to reach。 Very good book。

William Shearer

Journalistic read on various styles of management。 Can be labourious but is brimming with information on management styles。

Elizabeth

Very dry and slightly outdated。 This is coming from a lawyer; dry and outdated is my life, but this is not what I look for in a book I read on my time off of work。

“There is one quality that sets truly great managers apart from the rest: They discover what is unique about each person and then capitalize on it。”“Individuals are most likely to trust and cooperate freely with systems—whether they themselves win or lose by those systems—when fair process is observed。”Managing people is fraught with challenges—even if you're a seasoned manager。 Here's how to handle them。 We've combed through hundreds of Harvard Business Review articles and selected the most imp “There is one quality that sets truly great managers apart from the rest: They discover what is unique about each person and then capitalize on it。”“Individuals are most likely to trust and cooperate freely with systems—whether they themselves win or lose by those systems—when fair process is observed。”Managing people is fraught with challenges—even if you're a seasoned manager。 Here's how to handle them。 We've combed through hundreds of Harvard Business Review articles and selected the most important ones to help you maximize your employees' performance。HBR's 10 Must Reads on Managing People will inspire you to:• Tailor your management styles to fit your people• Motivate with more responsibility, not more money• Support first-time managers• Build trust by soliciting input• Teach smart people how to learn from failure• Build high-performing teams• Manage your bossThis collection of best-selling articles includes: featured article "Leadership That Gets Results" by Daniel Goleman, "One More Time: How Do You Motivate Employees?"

As recommended by Julie。

Particularly enjoyed the article titled “What Great Managers Do。” Basic premise: use peoples’ strengths for the betterment of the company。 Don’t focus on roles, focus on associates’ character traits and skills that will enable your company’a mission fulfillment。

To be honest, before reading this book, I felt that I am invincible and I am an amazing manager。。。However, after reading this book, I found out that I am lacking a lot of things which are needed to be an amazing manager。 I am a new manager and I have a lot of things that I need to learn and communication is one of the key areas I need to learn to be an effective manager。 I consider myself an affiliative manager with tendency of being authoritative in some instances。 I am more on the affiliative To be honest, before reading this book, I felt that I am invincible and I am an amazing manager。。。However, after reading this book, I found out that I am lacking a lot of things which are needed to be an amazing manager。 I am a new manager and I have a lot of things that I need to learn and communication is one of the key areas I need to learn to be an effective manager。 I consider myself an affiliative manager with tendency of being authoritative in some instances。 I am more on the affiliative side though。 。。。more

4。5 stars, rounding up。 I found the principles in this book to be really helpful。 The first story seemed to drag on, but for the most part each one after that I was able to get into and apply to current work situations。 I couldn’t believe that many of the articles were so old but still relevant。 Can’t wait to read more HBR books。

I read this straight through because someone loaned it to me; this isn't the kind of book you read that way and I found it tedious。 As a result, I look back and realize I didn't really take much away from it。 These books are best for a library -- "I need to learn about X, oh here is an article on it。。。great!"

This is the first time I have read any HBR article, which might be surprising for a guy who describes himself as a voracious reader(by the way, I stopped since I joined Goodreads), but my reasons should be genuine; one, I come from Africa, two, I come from Africa, and three, I come from Africa。 In Africa, we don't read, at least that's what I have heard。 There's a joke I like sharing between me and my friends - if an average American reads 12 books a year, 12 average Africans read 1 book a year。 This is the first time I have read any HBR article, which might be surprising for a guy who describes himself as a voracious reader(by the way, I stopped since I joined Goodreads), but my reasons should be genuine; one, I come from Africa, two, I come from Africa, and three, I come from Africa。 In Africa, we don't read, at least that's what I have heard。 There's a joke I like sharing between me and my friends - if an average American reads 12 books a year, 12 average Africans read 1 book a year。My overview of Harvard Business Reviews might be half-baked due to my insufficient exposure to them, but my innocence, puts me in a perfect position to objectively view this book。 I think, and jusfiably so, it might go down in history as the best collection of articles put together on the subject of managing people。 It would have most definitely been a five-star for me wouldn't it not have been for one or two articles that just fell below par。 And this was mainly due to the high standards set by both their predecessors and successors。 。。。more

A collection of some of the most insightful articles about People Management that I have ever read。 A must read for all leaders and managers。

İşyerinde ast-üst ilişkileriniz için güzel bir kaynak。 Bazı makaleler size uygun olmayabilir, sıkılabilirsiniz okurken。 Bazıları ise sizin durumunuza çok uygundur ve pratik fikirler verebilir。 Okumanızı öneririm。 Hatta her 2-3 yılda bir bu tarz kitapları tekrar okumak gerekiyor。。。

Really compelling set of articles for manageing people。 Specially the article about different management styles。 Could be made a bit more compelling by being less textbookish(few articles)。

Mostafa Kheirparast

کتاب خیلی خوبیه。 من پنج ستاره رو به کتاب میدم، نه نشر هنوز。 فکر کنم هم صفحه‌آرا و هم مترجمش یه ذره بیشتر وقت میذاشتن خیلی بهتر میشد。 ولی در کل بازم کتاب خیلی مثبت و بدرد بخوره

There were some good suggestions here。 I wish I would have read some of this before I became department chair and had to manage people。

Gave it a chance。 Some nice overviews and reminders。 Not clear framework

Some good reads in here if you're a coach and leader type or aspiring to be。 There some blah as well。 Find what's relevant and focus on those topics。 I am always pining for more articles on leading and coaching remote colleagues as someone in consulting space。 Furthermore, there is also a dearth of content for leading and coaching those that aren't working on the same thing you are。 We work for different clients often in completely different industry sectors。 Book idea?

A great collection of chapters。 Reading thru these chapters is like attending a management class with the masters like Daniel Goleman, Chris Argyris and Mahzarin Banaji。 I enjoyed the chapters on "Saving your rookie managers" and "How (un)ethical are you?"。 These articles forced me to rethink common pitfalls and how I approach them。 The best part is that many of these bookish reads can be put to use in real world environment right away。 Many of them work。 But, as the collection points out, busin A great collection of chapters。 Reading thru these chapters is like attending a management class with the masters like Daniel Goleman, Chris Argyris and Mahzarin Banaji。 I enjoyed the chapters on "Saving your rookie managers" and "How (un)ethical are you?"。 These articles forced me to rethink common pitfalls and how I approach them。 The best part is that many of these bookish reads can be put to use in real world environment right away。 Many of them work。 But, as the collection points out, business and art of developing ourselves and our people is always a work in progress。 A must read。。。 。。。more

This was a mixed bag, some articles were helpful as I think about my career, others just filled pages。 I think it is highly subjective to what problems you are trying to solve as a manager。

Matthew Seo

Summary of what we partially know and feel about managing oneself。

Mindaugas Cekauskas

As usual for the top 10 series, some articles feel a little outdated and need to be taken with a pinch of salt, but otherwise the picks felt very relevant and connected well。

Diana

The articles within are interesting and helpful。 Not all have the same quality or usability (at least for me)。 I believe this book is a touch base since managing people can have subtleties, but at its core it remains the same (some of the articles are over 30 years but are still valid nowadays)。Overall I recommend this book。
