Readable papers on broad topics in management
(Kirkland, WA) July 25, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars

Whether you're just entering people management or have been doing it for years, this book grabs a selection of readable papers on a variety of topics from compensation to handling 'poor performers' to more effective (but non-manipulative!) means of persuasion.

Especially interesting were the two articles on the performance of individuals and the messages -- both explicit and implicit -- that managers give to their reports and how they affect performance.

You should definitely give them a read if you think you have an average to poor performer that you're actively working with right now.

	I regularly read great articles from the subscription program of HBR and rely on its contents for great insight into today's business environment. Unfortunately, the HBR book series make a poor comparison. I have even... read full review
