Organized Common Sense

I'd taken a class in Situational Leadership years ago when I was at IBM. Having taken nearly every management course that's come down the pike I can tell you it was the only that I could use at the end of the first day of training . . . and use at home! This little book, The Situational Leader has all the same material that was in my class: how to vary your style to meet the needs of people you want to lead, how to diagnose readiness, how to develop people and what to do when performance slips. I use it in my consulting practice now. This material is over thirty years old and more useful now than ever before! I gave it 5 stars and recommend it to anybody who wants to be more successful and effective at leading up, down, across and at home.
