Manager's Must

Jack Welsh, while at GE, once said, "If the change on the outside is greater than change on the inside, the end is near." Hank Moore has written the Manager's lifeline in dealing with omnipresent, dynamic change. His book covers everything from strategy to the need for employee training. In each chapter, Mr. Moore gives the reader compelling reasons to take certain actions or attitudes in order to succeed in the difficult business world of today. And in most chapters, he offers simple-to-understand lists or snippets that make it easy to apply his concepts. His material on slogans, oxymorons, acronymns, and the proper usage of English and wording is extraordinary -- and much needed in business. His ideas on customers and advertising are tremendous. Mr. Moore is quite a visionary himself, a very successful consultant with five U.S. Presidents, and his extraordinary talents have led to an effective set of concepts captured in this book regarding vision, change, and success. He makes a strong case for taking action in those areas. Visionary thinkers are hard to find. Read the book, and become one! Every manager MUST read the book, own the book, and PRACTICE THE BOOK!!

Take a step back, look up and all around and with the conviction of Corporate Responsibility, take an ethical look at the entire Business Tree from the roots to the leaves. Then, define the ethical vision required for the long term growth and prosperity of the business. Only this process will gain and maintain the trust and confidence of the stakeholders.

He is brilliant

Mr Moore has toutched the right buttons for me. Understanding the tremedous cost to 'doing nothing' has spurred me on to make an effort to be pro active.

The High Value of Hank Moore

Hank Moore's new book The High Cost of Doing Nothing is nothing less than High Value. This long overdue, straight talking, deeply practical and highly readable super business book is the best I have read in years. There is a pearl on every line. Knowing from Hank's reputation that this would be a book of pearls I reached for my faithful yellow highlight. I gave up after the fourth page realizing that I was destroying the book with yellow ink. Every line was being marked, such is the solid, granite wisdom that is carved out by this author.This great book is highly timely post Enron/WorldCom and should be in the hands of everyone in any form of business and not out of their hands until read from cover to cover.
