Lessons for the Aspiring Manager

Although this book was originally published in 1989, its lessons are equally applicable to the modern-day business world.In my mind, three principles stood out:1) The importance of clear and concise communication to subordinates2) The importance of being unconstrained by rigid rules and organizational norms, in preference of overriding principles and prejudices3) The importance of leading for the long-term, rather than being motivated by short-term gain
