The 10 Second Internet Manager

By Mark Breier and Armin A. Brott

All managers today are Internet managers, whether they're ready to admit it or not.??It doesn't matter if their business is large or small, old economy or new. In a faster, electronic, and more direct economy, every manager needs help. And here it is. The 10-Second Internet Manager offers quick, no-nonsense tips, tactics, and strategies for succeeding fast in the Internet age from Mark Breier, an on-line expert willing to share the practical lessons he learned as an executive on the front lines of the e-commerce wars. The 10-Second Internet Manager will show you how to improve productivity and accelerate growth. You'll learn how to use e-mail to keep everyone connected (and when to get up from your desk and go have a talk); how to use the Internet to get a quick customer response to your product, your plan, or even your business model; how to build teams now and how to make sure they're moving forward instead of just around; and how to make effective meetings produce results that contribute to your bottom line. Best of all, Breier offers proven methods for finding, hiring, and keeping the best and fastest employees -- the ones who can make or break a manager's efforts. And, for all those folks who are jumping into the deep end of the pool -- launching their own dot-com ventures -- Breier even offers advice on the care and feeding of venture capitalists and the joys of 24/7 exhaustion. The One-Minute Manager changed the world by showing managers how to get the most out of a minute. But in an Internet-speed economy, who has a minute to spare? The 10-Second Internet Manager shows you how to launch your team or your company into the Internet age.

great tips for busy managers

Loved this book. Quick read, fast pace. Lots of tips I started using immediately to help me work smarter. I reallly liked the email chapter with its great tips on how to better manage my email. I have been able to reduce my time spend handling email using 2 simple tips: clear subject lines with action requested and replying to one, not all. The tips are all common sense; the book is a great reminder that we need to manage technology to make our lives better instead of technology managing us.

Best business book this year

Great advice for any manager of any size or type of company. Better than the One Minute Manager - more timely, comprehensive and digs deeper. As the CEO of an "old economy" company I found this book very valuable in helping re-tool my management style and better understand the new economy world. Takes more than 10 seconds to read (but not much more) but worth every minute.

Clear and Concise

This book is able to express all the necessary skills required to make it as an effective manager (dotcom or otherwise). I read this book in under 2 hours, but don't let the # of pages fool you. It's all the information you need concentrated into the time you have to read it (almost none). The tips presented can help anyone that wants to succeed, from the experienced manager to the office newbie. I was able to immediately use the information provided, especially the email tips!

Great Fast Read

I really enjoyed this book. I have a ton of business books, but most of them are high level. They focus on theoretical or strategic issues around operating like an Internet company. "The 10-Second Internet Manager" is a much faster reader and has some great tips that I was able to apply immediately in saving time and getting better results. I think e-mail and meetings are the biggest time sinks of my current company life and this book offers specific tips I can share with others in my department. I also like the fact that they have a Web site, www.10secondmanager.com, that I can check out for more tips. A very fast read and well worth the investment of time and money...

Useful information, Quick Read -- Worth Checking Out

I found the book pretty interesting and well worth the time invested in reading it. Able to digest the information in a few short hours, the book contained several useful chunks of information that any manager could immediately incorporate in his/her daily routine. A good read for all types of managers, be they a senior executive of a .com, a middle manager at a mid-size company or a first-time manager. The book also contains some time management principles that can be applied even if you don't have a staff reporting to you. I'd recommend giving it a whirl...
