Human Resources Impostors: What Every CEO Should Know about Their Human Resources Program and Staff

The detailed mini stories of the authors experiences and adventures as a consultant were interesting and entertaining. I particularly enjoyed his simplistic approach and easy to implement HR program recommendations. We've already put the recommended performance evaluation program in place and it is working for us.

"Impostors" was a pleasant surprise. A refreshing change from the malarkey found in a lot of today's business titles. I was entertained, challenged and surprised at how many good ideas there were for the taking.

After a slow start, the pace and interest level accelerated rapidly. The thing I enjoyed most was the book read like a novel rather than a technical business publication. Koch's on the road experiences covered a full spectrum, and I felt challenged to come up with answers as to how I might handle some of the real life situations presented. This book will force you to think and to take a position. That's why I liked it so much.

As a 20 year HR professional I'm very confident in my HR knowledge and abilities, and I make it a priority to keep current. Initially I wasn't interested in this title but I heard positive things about it. Now, I wish I had read it sooner. In my opinion, this is must reading for all HR professionals. You may not agree with Koch's direct and no nonsense approach but you'll be hard pressed to find fault in his documented programs and logic. If you're interested in making HR improvements in your organization, read this book.

I was exited how inexpensive valuable knowledge could be! After reading this book I regret that I am not in HR - how tempting it was to start improve HR in every company.Lively described cases make reading fun and easy to understand. It should be the book for every CEO to read on vacation and every HR should get it prior to its CEO and act, otherwise he/she will be fired (after vacation :D).HR software consultant
