Rating: - THE ONLY MANAGEMENT BOOK YOU NEED TO READ
I started my management career in 1970 and was lucky to have attended a 2 day seminar in 1972 from William Oncken and I have read all his books. Once you read his work you quickly realize that you never have to read another management book again. His understanding of human nature and the real dynamics of organizations is profound.

The 'monkey theory' is easily adopted with a minimum of fuss. Bill ... Read More
Rating: - Will trade for Harvard MBA
This is a funny well-written and well thought out book based on reality about who people are and how they function. Case studies do not impart the same depth of information about human nature. If you still need an MBA after reading this, maybe you should be thinking about getting your Ph.D. in economics or your J.D. It is not so much a retrospective based on narrowly defined circumstances as it is a prospectus on the human condition. No, it does not review the fine art of credit derivatives, ... Read More
