Highlighting twelve tales of horror, humour and heroism, this rare treat
illustrates how each executive comes to terms with his/her management sins.
Robert Gilbreath wrote this stunner "To pull you out of your Management
Hell, away from the daily inconsistencies and turmoil long enough for the clear
picture to emerge - for the implications to take shape, and, hopefully, for you
to see your way out." And see clearly one does! More than a title, this
book should become your personal and professional goal.
Useful to managers and employees at every level, Escape From Management Hell
addresses pressing business issues such as quality, diversity, empowerment,
decision making, innovation, risk taking and consensus building. Artful insights
and a host of management woes are provided, ranging from the original control
freak to the change master from hell. Chuckle as your read how compromise
chokes innovation or how quality challenges a cheat, and learn about a place
where bureaucracy is king or shame is a management skill. A joy to read and a
major contribution to management literature, Escape From Management Hell may be
your only opportunity to make some sense out of all the madness.
