Synopsis

Like a mirror, Your Management Sucks reveals important truths that you may deal with . . . or choose to ignore or put on the back burner.

Everyone manages someone or something . . . your own life and career, an administrative assistant, hundreds or thousands of people. How well or poorly you manage has a profound impact on your personal success.

Mark Stevens makes the compelling point that at any given time everyone's management sucks. It can, however, be improved and rethought so you can move away from patterns and habits that you can easily fall victim to. Start by declaring constructive war on yourself. Look in the mirror and identify those invisible traps and barriers. Then leave the land of business-as-usual with the seven-point plan Stevens has used to build both his own extraordinary career and his marketing and strategy consulting firm. You'll soon find that you're in the fast lane, easily outpacing your passive peers who rarely, if ever, challenge the how and why of what they do.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Miebara

This book would pump you up in terms of motivation and personal development. But on critical areas of strategic thinking, developing a competitive strategy or driving a strong market position as a business manager, it's not the kind of book you need to read. -Dont just rock the boat of your business......more

Goodreads review by Jbock

This book is strong on motivation and ideas, but a bit over the top in some areas. Mark Stevens can come off as pretentious at times. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in continuous personal improvement.......more

Goodreads review by Tina

I guess my biggest problem with this book was the pompous, arrogant guy that wrote it. Yeah, you're great-you have solved all of the problems for all of your clients. I did get a few tidbits from it.......more

Goodreads review by Cheree Moore

I read this right after I quit a job with a terrible manager. The book made me feel better in confirming that I was working under someone who had no idea how to manage.......more

Goodreads review by Michelle

An interesting take on management and motivation. Many examples that give way to good perspective. Though nothing notably astounding, this book is like having a great talk with a wise mentor.......more
