This little book is fun. It is well structured, easy to access and free of the hyperbole of some popularist how to management texts (Professional Manager, November 2002)

The clear language and gusty commonsense of this book make it a beacon amid today s tide of gobbledegook. (Southend Echo, Basildon Echo and Colchester Evening Gazette, 29th & 30th March 2005)
