Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com Interesting and Accessible | Customer Rating: | | Of all the books I have read by management guru Charles Handy, this has to be the most interesting and accessible. The book consists of twenty-one chapters, each illustrating a different management concept or idea. There are some old favourites like the 'Inside Out Doughnut' and the 'Johari Window' and some new ideas too (new to me anyway!) such as 'Marathons or Horse Races'. Each concept is simply and entertainingly explained but what I found really useful was the 'Questions for thinking and talking about' section at the end of each chapter. This section really encourages you to think about what you've read and picks out key points for discussion or simple exercises. I also liked the anecdotes in each chapter as relating a concept to a real-life situation makes it much easier to understand. This book is an ideal introduction to the work of Charles Handy and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the way that organisations work - it is certainly not just for managers. Just one criticism really - the book is not long enough! |
