Power Tools

Another `cut-to-the-core style' book from Sam Deep. It talks about five basic Management challenges - Leadership, Teamwork, Motivation, Continuous Improvement and Balance. The "tools" presented are practical & relevant to day-to-day business situation. It is written with an intellectual rating scale of intricacy. A good reference book for managers. Lot of common sense used, but common sense is sometimes most uncommon thing.......Vivek Dixit,Stanford.edu

This book is jammed with practical ideas and exercises to help any manager's performance in dealing with people, performance and products. It is clearly written and user friendly with a clever rating scale of difficulty and resources needed to accomplish the intervention strategy highlighted in each section. I continue to suggest this excellent resouce book at every Managers Educational Seminar that I conduct!...

My bookshelf is jammed full of all kinds of management books. Most of them, after an initial reading, gather dust. Power Tools is the exception. As a consultant, I refer to it at least once a month & actually use the suggested "tools". I've utilized the Envision process numerous times & each time it works like a charm. In one day, a group can painlessly create drafts of their vision & value statements. The "tools" provided are practical & apply to common company situations. This portable blue book is my best kept secret! SShh...don't tell my clients!
