Outstanding Common Sense ( christopherjcox3 )
I found a 1965 version of the Rational Manager at a garage sale for $1.00 and because I had taken the Kepner Tregoe problem solving training I bought it. What a great book! I then discoverd The New Rational Manager version and got it as well. The books present a very solid and structured methodology with great examples to illustrate their use.
Anyone interested in dealing with the complexity of business or life and doing it well would be well served to pick up these books.
Concise. Omnipresent. ( stevenloe )
Despite its publishing date, the New Rational Manager stands for what we, leaders, encounter everyday.
From dealing with business associates to even parenting, the writers consolidate all aspects of life to be a focused and managable matter. Almost every issue can be broken down into phases, where in each phase there are opprotunities to ask quality questions, of which drive towards quality solutions. This book shows you how.
On the overall, this is one of the few well-written books of balancing life and business.
