Customer Reviews

A great book!

This gentlemen Richard Sloma was my business instructor at my local college. He is a smart, intellectual man and this book proves it! If you want a no-nonsense, honest approach to management in business, get this book! Too bad there aren't more books like this in the mainstream today, it is a great find! If you get this book, you wont be disappointed.

Planning for the Strong of Heart

This is a book you buy and never loan to anyone. Ever. This book saved my bacon more than once. Although I was (and still am) a good marketer, Sloma's genuinely no-nonsense approach taught me critical lessons that allowed a smaller specialty publishing company to outmaneuver and defeat larger companies. Years later, we still own our niche. And I attribute that to Sloma's book. Fortunately, Mr. Sloma wrote several other titles that are a true curriculum for self-employed and corporate managers wanting to be better leaders. These include: Getting It to the Bottom Line, A Handbook of Managerial Performance, and the Turnaround Manager's Handbook. I would balance Sloma with reading Juran on Quality or other similar titles by Juran.
