Lee said Great resource for transformational leaders. Great resource for not only new managers but existing ones. Lots of great ideas for those who want to become a transformational leader.. Good tips on being a manager This book was a textbook for a required class on management in my graduate school program. Overall, I felt it had good advice for new managers. Some of it, I disagreed with (for example, telling people who get interrupted in meetings it's their fault for not having thorough knowledge of the business) and some didn't mesh well with my own management experience. Even so, it's a good resource for managers and gave me plenty to think about.. rpv said Gives manager good tool to use. Gives manager good tool to use. I was able to learn interesting (mostly common sense) but gives a set of tool to effectively do the job.
