Ignited Will Ignite All Managers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Vince Thompson's Ignited will ignite managers at all levels if they will read it and take its lessons seriously. Most business books are aimed at CEOs, and too often deal in cutely phrased and fuzzy theories. Thompson's book is hard-core practical and gives case study examples of how managers can have a significant impact on a company's direction and their own careers. If you feel stuck, read Ignited.
Supporting the Backbone of Your Organization!

What a wonderfully insightful and useful tool to support what is often times considered the backbone of corporate North America! Mr. Thompson adroitly points out the common issues that plague organizations and deftly navigates readers through the morass, identifying opportunities and avoiding common pitfalls. Mr. Thompson's approach is refreshing in the way it encourages Managers to be proactive in taking responsibility and through their accountability, 'ignite' themselves and the professionals around them. As an entrepreneur, coach, and consultant; I can confidently refer this book to managers and the executives that manage them.
Very Useful

I wish this book were around sooner, I wouldn't have struggled near as much as I progressed through my career. Vince Thompson has provided some very practical ideas for everyone who may be struggling with different corporate cultures. As a CEO of a midsize company I will recommend this book to all managers in our company, it will help them and the company to be more successful.
Candid, Insightful, and Actionable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
With "Ignited," Vince Thompson has cast a much-needed spotlight on what is often the most overlooked segment of the workplace: the middle. Frontline managers represent a 5 million-strong demographic in Corporate America, with a wellspring of untapped (or at least under-leveraged) energy, ideas, and insights. Thompson very thoroughly--yet entertainingly--builds the business case for focusing renewed effort on mobilizing this group, and presents realistic and actionable solutions for driving measurable results. Part business, part change management, part self-help, "Ignited" represents a fresh and innovative approach to a category sure to get significant attention over the next several years.
